Here we are
After all these years
After all the laughter
And all the tears.

We’ve been Fresh Meat,
Soph-ies and Ickle Juniors.
But this year we were at the top,
Number 1 Seniors.

But that title’s over.
Now that our real lives begin.
We forever hold the title “Alumni”,
The class of 2010.

It’s the beat of your heart
The feel of your touch
The warmth of your smile
That makes me love you so much.

It’s the light in your eyes
When you look at me
And the truth in your words
When you say you love me.

Not the food you buy
Or the concerts we go to.
Not the things you get me
Or the things you pay for us to do.

It’s what I feel
And see in your eyes
That makes me fall deeper
And know I’ll love you ‘til I die.

My heart was broken.
My heart was sore.
I didn’t want to be me
Or pick myself off the floor.

Whenever I’d think
I couldn’t sink lower,
I was proven wrong
And crushed like a flower.

Just when I thought
I was in the dark forever,
You shined your light into my life
And you hurt me never.

You took my hand
And with it, my heart
And allowed me to have
A fresh, new start.

You’ve shown me nothing
But care that’s true.
And I’ll do my best
To show I really love you.

Are you going to kiss me
As the sun shines bright?
Or when the rain falls down
Or when the moon is out at night?

Are you going to kiss me
When leaves fall from trees?
When flowers bloom in spring
Or during the winter freeze?

Are you going to kiss me
Every single day?
When I come home to you?
Or when I go away?

I want you to kiss me
And I want to kiss you.
I want you to kiss me
When we say “I do”.

I want you to kiss me
When I take my last breath.
And I want you to kiss me
When we meet again after death.

My heart yearns
To hear your voice
In the silence
That surrounds my life.

In a sea of murmurs
Your voice is like a beacon,
Drawing me towards you,
Showing me the way.

When my day is dark
And I think I cannot see,
Simply speaking to me
Ignites a light in my world.

If ever I’m drowning
In a flood of troubles,
Your voice is my lifesaver,
Pulling me to safety.

So soothing to hear
When my emotions are raging.
Instantly calming me
With just a few spoken words.

So speak to me, talk to me,
Take away my fears.
And until the day I die,
Let me take comfort in your voice.

Words as sweet as honey,
Caring and loving,
Spoken from your mouth
Make my heart race
And my spirits soar.

Poetic words
Flowing from your heart
Pouring into mine,
Making me feel loved,
Cared for, and at peace.

These words
Bring tears
To my eyes.

Words as sharp as broken glass,
Cutting and hurting,
Spoken from your mouth
Make my heart sore
And my spirits die.

Harsh words
Flowing from your mind
Pouring into mine,
Making me feel alone,
Abandoned, and in pain.

These words
Bring tears
To my eyes.

When I close my eyes,
My life flashes before me.
Not of what has happened,
But of what has yet to be

I can see it now,
My future, my life.
Someday having kids
And being someone’s wife.

But it’s not just anyone
That I see I’m married to.
I close my eyes and see
Me growing old with you.

I see us in front of family
And we’re exchanging vows.
Both of us indescribably happy;
Together, forever, starting now.

I see our kids laughing,
Playing tag in the yard.
And I see us helping them
When life seems too hard.

The best sight comes last,
The one that never ends.
I see us being together forever
Through life’s twists and bends.

As I open my eyes,
I think I’m still dreaming.
For I’m in your arms.
You give my life meaning.

You look deep into my eyes
As I get lost in yours.
Make my dream a reality
And be mine for a lifetime and more.
