The Story Behind You and I

To The One I Love,

In you I found a forever friend,
That I could have never bought,
Your love no one will ever bend,
The kind that is only dreamed about.

You’re there whenever I start to cry,
To help me through life’s tough times,
And I will never ever know why,
You were my partner in all my crimes.

The crazy stories that we could tell,
Would certainly perk everyone’s ears,
Cause we always seemed to raise hell,
And be the cause of our parents tears.

To teach us discipline was an endless task,
But life’s hard lessons did it best,
Better than parents could ever ask,
Our foolish pride is laid to rest.

Now we’re grown and falling hard,
We talk about family things,
Like a house and big back yard,
And kids playing on the swings.

Ten years ago we’d never guessed,
That this is where we’d be now,
Cause of all my friends you were the best,
Now all I can say is simply…wow.

They say you must first be friends,
Before you can love with all your heart,
Cause you will have to make amends,
When your love starts to fall apart.

I think we’ve accomplished that already,
We’ve fought and made up before,
Now here we are going steady,
Instead of robbing the general store.

In our hearts we’re still just kids,
Having fun and playing pranks,
Unscrewing each other’s salt shaker lids,
Pretending we’re pirates walking planks.

It’s this innocent love that lets us live,
Always smiling and laughing hard,
These memories I want to one day give,
To the kids that’ll be in our back yard.

To be young again and start all over,
I don’t think I’d change a thing,
I’d still like playing red rover,
And giving underdogs on the swing.

You know what always make me tick,
And all the crazy foods I like,
No one else I’d ever pick,
Because you threw me my first strike.

Looking back on us growing together,
It is so easy for me to know,
That you and I spells forever,
So let’s put on another show.

Our parents will again shed tears,
But not from sadness madness or worry,
They watched us fall over the years,
And know our love’s not in a hurry.

We are best friends and will always be,
No one will ever tear us apart,
Cause the love that sets us free,
We help hold in each other’s heart.

I am forever yours my love.
