In the heart of the city, under the neon lights

Our paths crossed, igniting endless nights

The smile on your face was more than I could bare

I loved everything about you

your voice, your touch, your stare

I gave you my all, with nothing else to give

You still took more, even my reason to live

I hated you at times, you made me feel so low

In the midst of the darkness, a glimmer began to glow

What was this wind, this second chance at life

It was true happiness, no frowns, no pain, no strife

Could it be so true, Can I really feel this free

Or is it a trap, another con from thee

The love bombing drained me and left me depleted

My kids and the dog were all that I needed.

I will forever remember the times we argued, fussed and fight

None of it would have been possible, without the city lights.
