I Choose You … I Promise I Do

I’ve decided to change up the approach to my Fly Poetry section today. Instead of featuring a traditional poem, I wanted to post the lyrics to a song that me to reads like beautiful poetry (Not to mention the fact that it now has a very special meaning to me.)
There are no additional words needed from me on this one … just check out the lyrics, and when you’re done, take a listen to the song for good measure.
The Fly Poetry/Lyrics
You introduce me to life that I’ve never known
When I’m by your side that’s when I feel at home
And my only intent is to make you smile
I promise…
So believe what I say when I say I’m real
Cuz there ain’t no mistaking the way I feel
Baby open your heart and accept this love
I give you…
Over the others
Over my pride
Over the faults, I have in my life
I choose you
Over the others
Over my pride
Cuz you’re the best thing, in my life
I choose you
Said I knew it was right, so I took the chance
Disregarded the challenge of the circumstance
Now your to big a part of me to let you go
I promise…
So despite the way that I make mistakes
And despite the direction this love may take
You can always be sure of me just have faith,
I got you … this much is true
Over the others, over my pride,
Over the falls I have in my life
I choose you
Over the others, over my pride
Cuz you’re the best thing, in my life
I choose you
