When I First Met Him

When I first met him, he was something grand
 Handsome, and refined
 What a sense of humor, a sense of style
 And oh, so kind
 When I first met him, I was petrified
 Young, and insecure
 He was strong and gentle and open-armed
 So sharp, so sure
 But that was when desire was newly kindled
 That was when desire burned bright
 When I first met him that lonely night
 I had been set free
 Suddenly abandoned and all alone
 Then he found me
 When I first met him how i wanted this
 Needed him in view
 When did I discover the simple fact:
 He needs me too
 Even though you know it could end tomorrow
 Deep inside you whisper what's true:
 You're a part of him, he's part of you
 You've heard the whispers that he'll do you harm
 But you ignore them when you take his arm
 For no one feels like he does
 And no one smells like he does
 No one laughs, and no one cried
 No one speaks, so no one lies
 When I first met him, there was life ahead
 Everything seems clear
 Looking back I wonder how I misread
 Just look who's here
 I'm trapped alive and I've been burned
 There's nothing left and nothing learned
 But some dark night I'll set it right
 He'll bow to every whim
 With every passing hour my hopes grow dim
 How I wish we could go back
 To when I first met him
