A Story, My Home

Just a little girl
Playing dress up
Making paper dolls
Dancing, twirling on my tiptoes
Chasing after my brothers
Trying to prove that I was tough

Just a little girl
Dreaming in vivid color
Living life to the fullest
Not a care in the world

The world was mine...
   and I knew it
Anything I wanted, I could make it
Anywhere I wanted to travel,
  my mind would take me
I knew all the answers, a child genius
Or at least I thought so
Anything was possible
I was young, innocent, nieve

And still I was lost

Just a teenager
Confussed, angry, scared
I didn't know where I was,
   or where I was going
Home was just a legal binding
Out of place, and I didn't care
I didn't know if I belonged
And even if I was wanted
Searching for "what"
What, I didn't know
But "it" was missing

Just a woman
Finally all grown up
I had my wings, and ready to fly
Ready to see the world
Use my own two eyes
But...something or somebody,
   was still missing
I was still incomplete
There was still that hole
That hole inside of you
What drives you to find
...find that which is missing
I was alone
And home, it just wasn't mine

I knew what I wanted
I knew exactly what I needed
Love...that was it
A true love,
Deep and unconditional

A prince
My knight in shinning armor
Riding in on a wild stalion
My hero
That movie image
The movie romance

And yet...
I was just a little girl, grown
Just a woman
Still searching

I met you one summer
One summer I met "love"
You came to my home
Unexpected,  you showed up at my door
Not the person I would have imagined
...but you were there
The thing is,
We were both looking for something
We were searching
We needed eachother
...even more...
We wanted eachother

The first time we went out
It was perfect
Movie, dinner, a late night at Walmart
Just a preview of a thousand nights to come
My first teddy bear
Farenheit...it still makes me HOT

I don't remember when
But I fell
Head first...I fell in love
You can't put it into words
There aren't any words powerful enough
I found it
I found true love
God had answered my childhood prayers
He brought you into my life

All our flaws
The heartbreaks of our past
Suddenly, none of that seemed to matter
It was enough just to be together

I was home
My mind, soul, my heart...
   they had found their place
I was complete
I found love,
   or maybe love had found me
Either way, it didn't matter
I was whole
Forever didn't seem so impossible
So thank you
Thank you for
  -being the man you are
  -for loving me
    (even when it seems impossible)
  -for forgiving me when I've hurt you
  -being strong when I wasn't
  -holding me all night
  -kissing me, embracing me
  -lifting me up, pushing me forward
  -having faith in me, in "us"
I love you...now and forever
"Always" doesn't seem long enough
You and I
This love we share,
Its special,
Its real
I'm your wife
You are my husband
We are destiney, God's plan

Written in the stars
Floating on the clouds
Leaping in our own heaven
I'm yours
Yours only
Your mine
I know that!!
My love, my best friend, my heart
I am here and I always will be
Beside you, behind you, all around you
In your heart
..............
I found home
You are my home
