It took a lot to get to you.

It took us meeting to get to you.

It took us being friends to get to you.

It took us having genuine respect for each other to get you.

It took us messing up to get you.

It took us forgiving one another to get to you.

It took us being apart to get to you.

It took me dealing with jerks to get to you.

It took me being across the country to get to you.

It took me understanding you to get to you.

It took me releasing control to get to you.

It took me letting go over my life expectations to get to you.

It took me understanding myself to get to you.

It took me respecting myself to get to you.

It took me accepting you to get to you.
