I used to have a boyfriend

He never told me I was beautiful

He never made me feel worth something

We didn't talk about having kids one day

He never really, truly, listened to what I had to say

When we separated, it hurt, but my heart never shattered

I guess I never loved him enough to make it matter

(It mattered, but not so much that my heart shattered)

And then I met you

You

You weren't my boyfriend

You were so much more

You were my friend and my lover

My Batman and my cover

You were... are...

My sun rising in the east

My safety, my hero, my beat

You're my protector, my fighter

My prince, my knight, my all

You're everything I need

Baby, you mean everything to me

And now I have a lover

He tells me I'm beautiful

He makes me feel worth something

We talk about having kids someday

And he always listens to what I have to say
