i don’t know what i did
to deserve you, but
if i could i would go back in time
to do it all over again.
//
i wish i met you sooner
so i could love you longer,
but we were different people then.
maybe we never would have been.
//
i feel like i’ll never do enough
to love you like you deserve, but
i’ll work every day from here on out
to do everything i can.
//
if i had met you sooner,
we’d have more days together;
but i was not looking for you then,
maybe we never would have been.
//
i know that you have changed me
to a whole new better person, and
i hope that you can see how
to do what you love too.
//
if you had found me sooner,
i like to think we’d be better;
but there’s no way to tell,
maybe better is the wrong word.
//
i am yours and you are mine, promised
to each other for the rest of our time.
i know i am at my best when i have you
to hold me and keep me and put me to rest.
