Love and Respect

You looked at her and she knew, you were a bad one

You saw right through her, she was an easy target

The days  came and went, she knew things weren't right

Jealousy, authority, control, 

Weak, powerless, vulnerable

"Who is he?" "I don't care, he's a guy, you will cheat on me!" "Babe, please don't hangout with him."

She was just looking for someone to love and rely on

She finally saw the light, and said goodbye, moved away and began a new life

Now she is happy, safe

Those memories are far in the past, and miles away, 

Now in her new home, there is love

Laughter and double dates

Jokes, taken as jokes

Crying is no longer looked down upon in anger, but now is comforted and resolved through their voice

Cuddling no longer feels like she's being trapped, 

Now it is a way to feel love and affection, happiness and satisfaction

She feels like bird, with him along side her

Nothing is impossible, nothing can falter

Where once was a mouse, scared and timid, now is a woman who is older and wiser

Nothing can stop her. Love is now meaningful and no longer sought after.
