Our first introduction was a little rocky to say the least.

I still remember thinking to myself, is this the nature of the beast.

With each conversation my heart grew fonder.

It seemed so foreign to me to fall for someone much older.

Weeks turned into months, and months turned to years.

You always had a way of harboring self doubts and calming my fears.

You made me feel home when home was the last place I wanted to be.

I wish you could see how good you've been for me.

The stakes now seem high; more than you can give.

You say not to wait; to be happy and live.

Truth is I'm not prepared to give up on us yet.

I keep on hoping someday you'll call me up and say

Pack your bags you're coming my way.

April fools is a day I'll never forget.

It brought you into my life; a meeting I'll never regret.

Time keeps moving and we keep growing.

A few mistakes on my end have led us a stray.

But you always seem prepared to wait and show me the way.
