Love Story

 When I look at you I see the man of my dreams
A man who will protect our family by any means
I’ve been in love with you since we became friends
I just kept lying to myself never wanted our friendship to end
I was afraid of trying something new
And potentially destroying the bond between us two

Our chemistry was beyond great
But you were deployed so the relationship had to wait
You being in the service took a toll on us
Break ups, lying, cheating…there was no trust
But when you were discharged I chose to remain your friend
I didn’t want to let my best friend go, no matter how bad the relationship had been
You came home and we finally talked about
All of the reasons we didn’t work out
We decided to take a step back to build on our friendship again
To get the closure we needed to help our hearts mend
The problem was…just being friends was unrealistic
We couldn’t just be another failed long distance statistic
We decided to live together and do whatever we could think of
To rekindle that fire and rediscover our love

It took over a year but we made it through
There were no more secrets and once again I truly loved you
We made it through things that most couples couldn’t
And we shared secrets with each other that most couples wouldn’t
But look at us now, we have an amazing life
Our own house, family, and I even became your wife
The most remarkable accomplishment we share is our baby girl
She made our lives so much brighter and significantly changed our world
Kyndall made our existing bond even more secure
A little piece of us, we’re a family forever, rest assured

I wrote this to tell our unexpected love story
The good, the bad…the life changing and the ugly
We’ve literally been through everything, to hell and back
Dust cleared and our love still stands, look where we’re at
And our love is constantly growing nonstop everyday
I don’t see that changing because I love you in everyway
I love your slanted smile and your horror film chuckle
But even more…that you’re a loving husband and father who stays humble
I felt that you deserved a little appreciation and then some
I want you to know that I love you and you’re second to none
