The Innocence of Love
He told me that he loved me, he told me of my worth
He said I was an angel, the only one on earth
He told me I was beautiful as he gazed into my eyes
And into love I fell with him I was weakened by his lies
I gave him all I had to give and fulfilled all his desires
I thought I’d found my soul mate, two souls, two hearts, two fires
Now the door has closed between us and he has walked away
Yet again my heart lays wounded in an empty lonely day
I feel the shame of being used how can I trust again?
I gave all that I had in faith yet it is myself I blame
It was then the spirit spoke and said that I had done no wrong
For what I’d done, I did for love and I should move along
How will I know when love is true? How can I quench this thirst?
‘The one who loves you will ask for nothing and put your happiness first’
So seek the one who thinks like you and does the things you do
If he’s the reflection of your soul, you know his love is true
Take a look inside your heart for there you’ll find your worth
And know for this that you are blessed with the most precious thing on earth
And as the spirit faded, my heart was healed as new
I am happy that once more I’m free and on the path that leads to you
My soul mate
