You Taught Me

I wanted a mansion once... that is until I met you,

Now the only place I want to live is inside your heart

I once desired diamonds... until I met you,

Now the only sparkle I need comes from within

I used to crave the finest clothing... until I met you,

Now I want not a single thread to separate our bodies

I once coveted a fancy car... until I met you,

Now I want nothing that would put miles between us

I once prayed for money... until I met you,

Now I want none of the things money can buy

I once yearned for a sense of security... until I met you,

Now my only security comes is knowing you are near

I once dreamt of a prestigious job... until I met you,

Now I find my success in knowing that you are happy

I once asked for the world on a silver platter... until I met you,

Now you are my world and I want for nothing but your touch

Loving you has been my teacher; you taught me not to want

Being with you has been my discovery; you are all that I need

Finding you has been my salvation, I now understand grateful

But perhaps of most importantly...

Your love in return has been my everything
