You're one in a million, one of a kind,
The one thing that never leaves my mind,
I spent my whole life trying to find,
Someone like you; gentle and kind.
Now that I have I know there's no way,
I could leave you, no words can convey,
How special you are, what I'm trying to say,
Is no matter what happens I'm gonna stay.
No chaos could ever pull me away,
You are more than my man, you're my soulmate.
Your arms are now my permanent home,
I know I will never again feel alone,
Your heart is only mine to own,
I won't ever give you a reason to roam,
It's clear to me these feelings have grown,
The bond we share is solid like stone,
When you call I will always pick up the phone.
I wish I had an explanation for the way
I feel. I don't, but I'll try anyway.

HOOK:
When I wake up you are the first thought on my mind,
Your face the last image I see before night leaves me blind,
You keep my worries low, and my hopes high,
You are my favorite hello and hardest goodbye.

I love having you around, it's true,
I wish I spent every second with you,
I hate that I am not able to,
Give you the support I know is past due,
Or finish all the things you need me to do,
But you give me motivation to improve,
And one day soon I'm certain I will be
The version of myself you see inside me,
That's when our lives will finally
Become what we envisioned; simple and easy.
Then we'll get married, pick a place and settle down,
Build a house, start a family, in a sleepy little town.
Let's grow old together, just us two,
I found my happily ever after in you.

HOOK

I know there will be troubles, we'll fight,
But when it's darkest I'll be your light,
The future is coming, clear and in sight,
Give me your hand, let me hold it tight,
Understand that although this moment right
now might not be happy and bright,
There is much more in store, i am quite
Sure of this, we'll prevail despite
Obstacles, let's keep eachother upright,
Until the day our dreams take flight,
And take us both to greater heights,
Our destiny is a book, pages blank and white,
A story only we are able to write,
Instead of a novel doomed to recite,
Perpetual fates. As long as we unite
We can take on the haters with their spite,
I'm excited, I strike a match and ignite,
The fuse leading to your hearts dynamite,
Hoping an explosion of love is what I incite,
Or at least a spark of mutual delight.

I promise one day everything will be alright,
Tomorrow isnt promised but at least we have tonight.
For my boyfriend.
