He’s what all the girls want
That guy that proves them wrong
That not all guys are jerks
That life can be like a love song
He’s the guy the girls like
That can just be your friend
That can surprise you with a kiss
That you never want to end
He’s the guy that wants to wait
That wants to do things the right way
That plans ahead, and wants 
To put a ring on your finger one day
He’s the one guy that listens
That hugs you when you need it
Whispers “I love you” in your ear
Even when it hurts to believe it

I’m the girl that guys look past
Nothing special, kind of plain
Not someone to remember, 
I’m impressed if they know my name
I’m the girl who is distracted
I’ve got other things on my mind
A few shadows, a littered past
Scars I don’t want them to find
I’m the kind of person that has
Seen far more hurt than most will
Not easy to open up to
Getting close takes a bit of skill
I’m basically a mess, a challenge
Not too easy to understand
And yet for some reason…
He still holds my hand

We are, together, against odds
A bit of broken perfection
Two lives, brought together
Of unlikely connection
We are, a masterpiece,
Shades of dark and light
Strung together, carefully
Through trials despite
We are, a miracle 
God’s graciousness, unveiled
Forever, I am grateful
That our love never fails
We are, together
A promise to the end
He holds my heart, I love him
My life, my best friend
