| Him and Me, Me and Him. |
Sixteen freakin' years ago!
A lifetime.. no, five lifetimes ago, as it turned out.
I've loved you, since we were still at school, before we even knew it was love.. we only knew that it was special.
I've loved you my entire adult life, when there was only the glimpse and promise of the man and father you would one day become.
I've loved you, before I knew that I could be hurt by love, before I knew that most weren't like you, before I could become weary and cynical.
I always knew that we were lucky though, and the older I get, the more blessed I feel.
Not to say that it's always been easy, but it's always, always been worth it.
It just felt right. We felt right and still do. I hope that it will always be this way. I hope that all of it so far, has just been our first act.
This song was meant to be the first dance at our wedding....but then I bottled it, because of the racy bit in the middle.. and I was young and my Granny was there... and the band only knew 'Have I told you Lately'..anyway.
So sixteen years later, here it is, especially for you, always my true companion. xxx http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sp6zoc84NcU
