I love you.
I will spend my whole life learning what that means.
But I know I love you,
It's obvious to me.
I know that love's a choice
more often than a feeling.
I know that love has swept me up
and sent my heart reeling.
They say when you know, you know
And I know I know with you.
I know that here in 50 years,
We'll be enjoying that front porch view.
And so I boldly say
with out a hesitation,
I love you with all my heart,
I have no reservations.

You looked at me so earnestly
You knew what I was thinking
There was something different in your touch
I didn't feel like I was sinking
You pull me up instead of down
With you, I'm 10 feet off the ground
It's a curious thing that you are mine
Because I told you no the first time

I contemplated our compatibility
And I came back eventually
But holding fragile hopes inside
Cause they never really treat me right
But my fears just seemed to dissipate
The second your eyes looked past my face
You tilted my chin as if to say
"This isn't just a momentary phase"

If reading this it sounds so fleeting
Know I am attracted to your heart, not just its beating
Different is your touch, of course...
But if you had no hands, I'd still feel its force
Something in your soul draws me in like fire
I'm a paper lantern and you only take me higher
Floating in the air, but not without a destination
I'm hoping that our future will become more than my imagination

Let my thirst be opportunity
to fill my cup with you.
When the sun rises,
Lord, be the joy I choose.

When the day grows longer still,
be my source of strength.
When rougher waters pull me down,
be the rock to which I cling.

When the sun is setting
and fears of tomorrow sing,
be the peace on which I lay my head.
Lord, be my everything.
