Something in the air changed
That October of 2008
Your eyes glistened
And your smile sparkled
More than I'd ever admit to say
I recall you running down the hall
Just to catch up to me
You'd pull me by the hood
And stop me in my tracks
If my speed proved too fast to meet
I knew I fell for you
When I would walk slower
To give you time to catch up
You didn't notice but
When you came around
My whole body went numb
I penned you a little note
Because I knew you had to be mine
A life without that infectious smile
Hurt too much to think about
I was starving for your touch
More than I would let you see
Just like I need air to breathe
My heart needed you to beat
My mind was a hurricane
But you calmed the storm
Now everytime I hear your voice
It feels like I'm coming home
Your arms are my safe haven
My happy place from God
I'm fortunate I wrote you
That note 9 years ago
Who knew it would take us this far
