Bad times surrounded me when I met you
People hurt who they could and always lied
You opened my eyes to a world brand new
Where hope was alive, and evil denied
A place where I would never have to hide
You helped me to stop this ongoing war
I've never been in love like this before
Our friendship bloomed from out of the blue
We stood strong there by each other's side
When many others would have said adieu
I learned that I could trust and could confide
Because you have never cast me aside
I learned to step out from behind this door
I've never been in love like this before
As the laughter and my smile both grew
The bitterness I felt towards the world died
After much heartbreak I knew what to do
I could take the pain and anger in stride
And forget about the tears I had cried
You gave me back myself and so much more
I've never been in love like this before
If there is one thing I know to be true
You've been there as my hero, and my guide
Words are inadequate but thank you
For helping me find my hope and my pride
Hope I'm with you till the end of this ride
I used to think good guys were only lore
I've never been in love like this before

This is a beautiful and loving tribute to your special someone. The rhytm and flow is great, and I love the repeat at the end of each stanza. Nice job, and thanks so much for entering. Blessings, Patty

I like the flow of this and your use of the tag line of each stanza. This seems to have been well thought out and constructed. An excellent write. Thanks for entering. Keep the ink flowing and good luck!
