"I'll kick his ass if he ever hurts you."
That kind of caveman talk used to make
me feel protected, and safe,
now I just shake my head and smile.
You always were willing
to protect me from other men
but who would protect me from you?
Love, passion, happiness, anger
all of your emotions run too close
to the surface.
You blew through my life
like a hurricane;
I was the calm clear center of the storm
and you raged all around me.
I'll admit I was a storm chaser
I never ran for cover.
I got a thrill out of the chaos that
swirled around you, but these days
I chase peace, love, serenity.
You won't need to worry about kicking
anyone's ass, anytime soon,
I don't set myself up for heartache anymore
