Expecting you'd be there
Took for granted
Did I ever ask for a date
Think I just assumed knew
You'd be there
Don't remember ever asking for a date
We just seemed to be
Could you read my mind from afar
You never broke my heart
Hope I never broke yours
I knew you'd be there
I knew you'd go
I knew you'd enjoy
Came to visit on my bike
Knew you'd be home
The movies :Doctor Zivago
Knew you'd like a love story
Home from college
Visited your modeling
Knew you would smile
Made plans for your prom
I knew we'd be there
Dinner at the Union
Football games at college
Knew you'd root with me
Frat parties
Motel night
Knew you'd stay
Stewardess job
Took you away
Knew you'd be back
Returning home visit
Knew you were there
Airport kisses
Then I knew you went away
Digital visits
What's next
Ethereal visits?
You were my safety net
I knew you were
And yet I know you care
And then you weren't
