I never thought I'd be lucky in love
I was too shy, too quiet, too kind;
I'd spend hours hiding from the world
and at night, alone, I'd cry.
And then I met you.
If the sun had exploded in my sky
I don't think I'd know.
You didn't ignore me like everyone else
Suddenly I wasn't alone.
I was too scared to tell you immediately.
I couldn't quite seem to find those words.
Or maybe I just feared you'd abandon me
and my declaration was better unheard.
But you were not like everyone in my life.
You found value where not even I could see.
You assured me I was not a waste
and you encouraged me to be me.
Is it any wonder I fell for you?
I loved you so deeply,so purely and true
that no one else in the world could measure up.
All I wanted was to love you.
You made me smile when my world was breaking.
You held me when I cried bitter tears.
When all seemed lost and I felt defeated
you assured me I could conquer my fears.
And then one day, my dreams happened;
all I'd prayed for became true.
One day you looked into my eyes
and said you loved me too.
It's been years since that night;
I have your last name and wear a diamond band.
I wake up in your arms every morning.
I know your heart like the back of my hand.
But I still fall for you constantly.
I'm more more in love with you every day.
Where everyone in my life disappeared...
you didn't. You stayed.
Words can never express it,
how much my heart loves you.
I guess it's just fair enough...
because you say you love me so much too.
