When our eyes first locked
We turned away
Flushed with nervous tension
Yet there was an ease
With you
I never felt before
You had a charm
So captivating
So sweet
Your kindness mesmerized me
Like children, we were scared
But you know sparks were felt
Who knew we’d turn out like this
So imperfect
Yet perfectly fit
From days of loneliness
We walked the streets
Though it didn’t matter
Because I had you
And you had me
I remember all the people doubting
A love so quick
Little notes
Inside jokes
And name of future children
That was what we were feeling
At the time
We didn’t need anybody else
To tell us how to live our lives
How many nights did we go sneak away?
Away from friends and family
Hidden within the folds of hotel rooms
To nights in parking lots
Just us two
Funny thing was
We celebrated every month
As an anniversary
Remember when we even argued on our 9 Month
Or was it 10?
10 months happened over and over again
Now I have to laugh
At the experiences we had
Because through everything
We're here
We did last
Past two months
Even past three
So *** those people who doubted
Both you and I shed the skin
Of those in question
After all,
Negative influence
Was second guessing
I miss that
No longer do we fight
From outsider perspectives
We fight each other
(Sometimes)
While acting reckless
But you and I both
Are so unselfish
I care for you,
The way mothers do
The way my heart melts when you’re by my Side
You’re wonderful.
I love the love we’ve come to love
I could never love you more
Because my love is never less
Through the good and bad times
We’ve conquered each road
Lit with bombs
Along the way we could have
Given up
On us
But we didn’t
I’m so happy we didn’t.
