A LOVE STORY

When we met it was like a dream:
A beautiful young lady walking up to me.
With a smile we made a connection
That would send us into a life long direction.

It was funny, the time we shared,
Never really thought, never really cared.
We were too busy being kids at heart
Too busy to think wed ever be apart.

I never understood what I really had
And that day came, oh was I sad.
I shed many tears as I walked away
Then she moved on towards her wedding day.

Week after week, month after month, year after year
I wondered why it was, why was I so scared.
Maybe I was too young or maybe I didn't care.
What ever it was, it still haunts me after all these years.

We moved on with our lives and never really talked again
But I always wondered where she had been.
It's choices we make in life to do what seems right
But I often wondered, should I have put up a bigger fight?

I thought I lost what I never really had
Then a letter arrived from her
It was a wish, a hopeless desire,
Then flash -- she was walking up to me, just like a dream.

I was not alone when we finally met
She was missing me just as I was missing her.
A thought never unheard and feeling never missed.
All of a sudden I felt pure bliss.

I never understood what we had
Until that day I held her again.
She's a part of my life, a part of my soul
A void to fill, an answer to all my questions.

She is my everything.
She is the air I breathe, the water I drink
She is the love in my heart and the breath in my words
She is forever a part of me.

She is a part of me because, as she reads my words
She can feel what I feel and see what I see
She is there always in my mind, my heart and my soul
She is the love of my life that I can never let go.

when love begin

I always knew that love would come find me someday
but never did I know that it would be you who was headed my way
you caught me off guard and took me by surprise
but you simply captivated me, the same way you do when I look into your eyes

It's true that every good and perfect gift is from above
you were presented to me as a beautifully packaged gift full of humor, talent, intelligence, beauty and love
"it isn't finding the perfect person but learning to see an imperfect person perfectly"
we all have our flaws but when I view you through my eyes, perfection is all I see

From when you laugh to when you're upset, I still love the little things you do
especially hearing you laugh and seeing your nose wrinkle the same way mine does too
coming into this relationship has been hard at times but we've made it through
I know as long as we're on this journey together, there's nothing that we can't do.

Sometimes I wonder if what we have is too good to be true
too scared to get my heart broken and scared of the thought of losing you
but in the end, I trust in the author and perfecter of what I believe
because what we ask for in Him, we in return shall receive

"Where your treasure is, your heart will be also" is how the saying goes
I may not know what tomorrow may bring, for God is the only one who knows
the one thing I do know is that you are my one and only
a treasure in my heart that I want to devote my whole life to completely

I know I don't need to prove my feelings to know they're true
because what I've known in my past, doesn't come close to the experience I've shared with you
I've had the experience of being in relationships before
however, this is the first time I've been truly happy... I couldn't ask for anything more
it's an honor to know that I am yours, as you are mine
and I trust God that He'll bring us together in His beautiful time

For now, I'll be waiting patiently for that day when we'll be together
that precious moment in time when I'll say, "it's you that I want to be with forever"
God made everything beautiful, precious and new
just as beautiful and precious as the day will be, when I look into your eyes and say, "I Love You"
