It happened before I knew what hit me
I hadn’t been looking for it
My life wasn’t happy, but it was settled
Then I found someone who understood
And would allow me to be me
Instead of what was expected
If I had stopped to think about it
Or realized the changes that would come
For me and for those I loved
I might not have taken that leap
But stayed put in my life
Pretending to be happy
Even with all that’s happened
And the hard choices I have made
Taking this leap of faith
Was the right action
