Dear Mr. Knowitall,

As a well known glutton for punishment, I humbly submit another song. As always, I appreciate your time and effort to listen to my submission. Looking forward to your reply.

UNTIL NOW
©Ricki E. Bellos

Never picked first for schoolyard games
Often ignored, no one knew my name
More liability than asset
I was always the one left for last

Shy and quiet, never first to speak
Some call it moody, some call it meek
What I lacked in social graces
I more than made up for in bad taste

Until now, until you
No one ever thought of me first
Until now, until you
Showed me just how much I was worth

Never had this feeling of inner peace
Living in my own skin with perfect ease
I wondered what that might be like
To enjoy life without a fight

My struggle now is to fully believe
This gift of love you bring is all for me
It’s a love I want to deserve
Listen close before I lose my nerve

Until now, until you
I was stumbling through life asleep
Until now, until you
Gave me something I could keep

Until now, until you
I didn’t know anything was wrong
Until now, until you
Gave me all I ever wanted
Never knew what I wanted
Until you, until now
Until you, until now
