All My Life

               
I have loved you all my life--
Even before I knew you,
I felt my heart reaching, searching,
       trying to get to where you were.
Then I found you and all my
       searching was finally over.
And if I die tomorrow, I'd die
       knowing I haved loved you and
       been loved by you...
All my life.
