I saw the world through jaded eyes

Expecting the worst

And usually getting it

Trustful of very few

Comfortable with even less

Having ceased to expect the good things of life to come my way

Resigned to a solitary existence

Then one day I turned a corner

And ran right into my destiny

Right into your arms

And I never wanted to leave

In just that instant

I ceased to exist

And started to live

And discovered for myself

That life is sweet
