Too Far, Too Soon (Evolved)

I saw my heart still bearing the scars
From jumping too soon and falling too far
I'd learned to sing a different tune
From jumping too far and falling too soon

I learned to hide my true emotions
Love for myself, my only devotion
I always kept myself on guard
From jumping too soon and falling too far

A different night, a different girl,
For quite some time this was my world.
I delighted as the ladies swooned
While jumping too far and falling too soon.

The cold of winter could never beat
The chill my soul would radiate
Partying in local bars,
Not jumping too soon, not falling too far.

Content I was to change locations
While the acceleration
Of my soul sped it to doom,
Jumping too soon and falling too far.

Then, my world changed one fateful night,
Making evil good, and darkness to light.
Yet my heart would not make room,
It would be sure not to fall too soon.

She stayed with me, god knows why,
But her river of love never ran dry.
She tried her best to reach my heart,
Yet I STILL would not jump too far.

Eventually she reached my core
I felt things not felt before
Except that same blissful swoon
When I'd jumped too far and fell too soon

Yet this time when I reached ground
She had been true, and was still around.
She vowed to stay at my side
Our love, she said, could not be denied.

Almost four years later, she waits for me
To return from this place of misery
I can't wait to see her open arms
Where I can jump all I want and not fall too far.

M******, my soulmate, the love of my life,
The woman I've chosen to be my wife,
May we live a life long and merry,
This I wish on our anniversary.
