Have you ever wondered what
Was on my mind all those years
I pined secretly for you?
What went through my head when
I had doubts and reservations about
My future?
For some reason, your name was
Always on my lips.
Every time I turned, there you were -
To wipe a tear or give a word of encouragement.
I first felt the feelings bud when we were young,
But I never thought I was good enough
For someone like you.
I ran to the arms of someone else,
While all the time you were on my mind.
I'd wondered what it was to feel that tender hand
Gently brush my cheek or to have your
Arms holding me tightly.
As months changed into years,
We grew side by side - eternally best friends.
The feelings of that friendly love ate at me,
But I was so blind to the gnawing inside.
Everytime I felt that gesture of a love
Doomed to never last - I thought of your face.
I couldn't bear the thought of
Confessing that to you.
I wondered how I could say it without the burning shame
And wondered if you could forgive me as my friend.
Then when I was finally free
You were the first one I told.
You took my hand and with gentle words
Reassured me all would be for the best.
If ever there were a problem - we were there
Side by side through it all.
Gradually the Lord caused this to be,
The place where I fell in love with you.
He led you to be my best friend,
Then led you to become the love of my life.
This was done before we knew,
Before we ever took a breath.
This kind of love I never knew existed
Outside of my deepest dreams -
The tenderness and love I never thought
Could be expressed with a simple little touch.
I don't know how these words came
To have so much meaning,
So much more depth and breadth
Than I ever thought they could.
But with my entire being,
Every fiber of my soul
Please know that now and always,
I love you.
