The First Time

From the moment I met you
I knew you were the one
The one to love me and care for me
The one that I have been waiting for

The first time I saw you
I knew you were the one for me
I could see your kindness
Through the look in your eyes

The first time we spoke to one another,
We clicked
It was then that I felt I had a chance
A chance to be in love with you

I had a feeling you liked me
But I didn’t want to believe
In case it was untrue
And it wasn’t me you wanted in your life

When I heard it was me you liked
When I heard it was me you wanted
I still didn’t want to believe
As I didn’t want to be hurt again

So many times I have been hurt
So many times I have been in pain
But with you it’s different
With you I know it is love, I know it’s true

All I want is to be with you
To be held in your arms
To hold you in mine
And to tell you I love you

You are the one for me
The one I’ve waited for
The one whose been chosen for me
And the one for whom I care


I still can’t believe that I have you
I am stunned by how amazing you are
I am amazed by the fact that you want me
I am still in disbelief by the fact that we are together

I love you; I can say it, it is true
I want it to last and not be like the past
As to me you are everything
Everything I’ve ever wanted

Thank you for being there for me
Thanks for your care
Thank you for loving me
And thank you for being you
