Why I Chose You

I've always underestimated myself,

Always tried to humble myself,

But when it came to true affection,

Settling was out of the question.

I used to settle for the ones in my league,

Continually thinking that my game was weak.

So what if she's just alright?

It's just a girl, am I not right?

But this is love we're talking about,

A force larger than all doubts.

This girl could be my wife.

She could reflect my entire life.

I chose her because she was the best.

I fell in love with her; God knows the rest.

Convincing myself I'm more than a mess,

God gave me perfection and nothing less.
