my knight in shining armour when i was young.
leaned on him and depended on him.
told him all my secrets and he still hung in.
we were both young and had a wedding.

then divorced can't remember why.
but still friends.
now my knight in shining armour again.
known me for 30 years and still likes me.
he makes me laugh and he is there for me.
now that i'm older
realise having someone who likes you
is more important than someone who lusts you.
