One year of marriage,
and four years together.
It makes me think back,
to when I first met her.
Working at a factory,
on that old paint line.
When she walked in,
I thought “Damn, she is fine!”
I never would have thought,
with just a little bit of time,
that beautiful woman,
would some day be mine!
I got her number,
as soon as I could.
With a girl like that,
I knew that I should.
A few failed attempts,
some moments that we missed.
But how could we have known,
that it would lead to this?
I had no idea,
that I’d love her forever.
I wasn’t even sure,
I’d be able to get her!
Then it finally happened,
She came over to my house!
And so began,
our game of “Cat and Mouse”.
She needed to be comforted,
the world had broken her heart.
And for whatever reason,
I was her place to start.
We were both finally single,
and, now, connected at the hip.
And we were both available,
to start a good relationship.
She liked my calming nature,
the way I eased her mind.
I liked her hippie style,
and, to me, she was kind.
I never thought I’d be here,
this place I am today.
A happily married husband,
who got married last May.
It all seems so surreal,
but in no way fake.
My heart is finally stable,
and I know it won’t break.
So today we celebrate us!
Just me and my girl.
But it’s so much more than that.
Because that’s my whole world.
