"You Saved Me"..."Because I Love You"

I remember when you first sat next to me

I did not know you would save me. 

I was only trying to take a nap.

I was sleeping…trying to forget what time would allow me.

But you did not let me.

Your hand on my shoulder surprised me

You did not know then but you brought me back up from what I thought was deep, so deep, in love.

But I was deep in fear and-

I never knew your name, but I knew you

I could tell from your eyes that I already knew you. 

Sadly, I first knew his and till that moment only his. 

You erased him from my mind somehow...

It was only a short time.

We went to church and held hands because the preacher said to

And in that moment I was praying to be happy, and even though it was our first time being together, I was praying for you too.

You drove me home and played a song and I sang

I could not remember the last time I sang with him. 

Gosh, you are always on my mind and I am trying to avoid it but I have already fallen in love. I made my choice.

You.

You bring me coffee. 

Knock on my door.

Hold me outside even if it is for a little.

Make sure I am very well fed.

Sing to me because you know I love it.

And never forget to tell me, ‘You are so beautiful’ when I only ask you to tell me I am pretty.

You give me all the reasons to be happy…

And you tell me, “Because I love you just as you love me…”

And you tell me that is all you will ever need. 

My love-you are all my love.

It was you all along that I desired it from. 

I know I had loved you before I met you.

You were the one I wanted to see in him and that I kept looking for.

And now, you give me all the reasons to be happy.

You saved me, because I love you just as you love me.
