To My Husband

A dear song has really touched my heart these past few weeks. I have been listening to it nonstop. It is such a true testimate of my love for John. I know it is so easy to lose focus on each other when the "real world" is hitting you straight in the middle of your forehead every minute. John and I have been married for almost 10 months and compared the the "Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary" sign that we saw the other day, 10 months seems like nothing. I still remember when I very first saw him with his cool sunglasses on, when he asked me to be his wife, and how I felt on our beautiful wedding day when I saw him at the end of the isle. Our life together has been such an amazing journey! I couldn't imagine sharing life with anyone else. I love him. He is my love, my life, and my everything. John, I love you so much, and I thank God everyday for your presence in my life.

Then

I remember, trying not to stare the night that I first met you

You had me mezmorized

And three weeks later, in the front porch light
taking forty-five minutes to kiss goodnight

I hadn't told you yet but I thought I loved you then

And now you're my whole life

now you're my whole world

I just can't believe the way I feel about you, girl

Like a river meets the sea,

stronger than it's ever been.

We've come so far since that day

And I thought I loved you then

And i remember, taking you back to right where I first met you,

You were so surprised

There were people around, but I didn't care

Got down on one knee right there once again,

I thought I loved you then

And now you're my whole life

now you're my whole world

I just can't believe the way I feel about you, girl

Like a river meets the sea,

stronger than it's ever been.

We've come so far since that day

And I thought I loved you then

I could just see you, with a baby on the way

And I could just see you, when your hair is turning gray

What I can't see is how I'm ever gonna love you more

But I've said that before

And now you're my whole life

now you're my whole world

I just can't believe the way I feel about you, girl

We'll look back someday, at this moment that we're in

And I'll look at you and say

And I thought I loved you then
