Ricochet

Your face wasn't meant for my eyes
You looked at me anyway


Your smile wasn't meant for my soul,
you captured it anyway.


The power in your eyes wasn't meant for my heart,
you stole it anyway.


Your steps into my world wasn't on my life's map
but you walked into my life anyway.


Meeting you was never something I would imagine,
it happened anyway.


This new gift of life feels too big to be mine,
but you gave it to me anyway.


You, the robin hood of love and me rich in pride,
you gave your satchel to me anyway.


I know I may not deserve all you are or all you do
but I'm gonna love you back, hard, everyday...anyway.
