Things haven’t been the same between us for quite some time. And while I managed to find fault in everything that you did, the true source of our problems derived from a singular source.

Me.

I wasn’t cheating; I wasn’t abusive; and I wasn’t placing my career before you. But yet and still, my pattern of behavior largely contributed to this current relational unhappiness that we share.

I’ve been taking you for granted.

When I initially pledged my devotion to you, I promised that I would always honor, respect, and cherish you. Sadly, my performance in the cherish department has left a lot to be desired over the past few months. What happened to me? Did I become too comfortable? Did I lose sight of what it truly takes to keep a woman happy?

Whatever the cause of this underperformance, I can only hope that it’s not too late to turn things around between us. I do appreciate you. I do adore you. And I certainly do recognize that my life isn’t the same without you. You truly are a special woman. And from this moment forward, I promise to never again allow you to feel unloved or unappreciated.

The Lyrics:
Oh, I had an awful dream
That you were needing someone else’s love to take the place of mine
So I over came the distance
That challenged my persistence
I let my ego go and drowned my pride
And you ask why

You’re such a special lady
Though I haven’t told you lately
So let me be the first to let you know
Such a special lady
Though I haven’t told you lately
So let me be the first to let you know

One more thing I need to say
Is that I need you every day
It’s not the same ’till you come back to me
Girl I’ve loved you from conception
So if you follow my direction
I’ll lead you where you always need to be
Right next to me

You’re such a special lady
Though I haven’t told you lately
So let me be the first to let you know
Such a special lady
Though I haven’t told you lately
So let me be the first to let you know
