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.

And so when I saw the perfect one,
I thought, it's her or none.
Might as well give it a shot.
For once I'll be the man I'm not.

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.
