A Million Memories

A million memories in my mind of a million different times
Of when I laid with you upon your bed, with your hand in mine
And we talked about the future and all the days to come
And I wrote, “I love you” on your bed, and “You’re my only one.”

We’d tickle each other till we cried, and then in silence lay
And think about our lives together, so different every day
At times like those it always seemed that we were so strong
And I wondered then what life would be like when you were gone.

Through every single hard time, you held tight to my hand
Even when I was mad at you for things you’ll never understand
And you’d tell me that you’re sorry and that everything’s all right
Even if it was all my fault, and like usual I had caused the fight.

I remember so clearly every “I love you” that you’ve said
For every time that I hear them, the words remain in my head
It’s easy for me to relive the words that, until now, I never heard enough
I mean them every time I say them, and you’ll never know how much.

Difficult times were always followed by another time of chance
It seemed like every month was a new struggle for our romance
But each time we saw the light at the end of our dark nightmare
And I hoped that with just one more shot, we’d make it all the way there.

We may not have found that light, but I’m happy that we’ve tried
I may have shed tears for you, but it’s been worth every tear I cried
Because just being with you is more than I ever should have asked
And I still just love you even more with every day that’s passed.

A year and five months ago I never would have guessed
That our relationship would make it this far with such success
And even through our struggles and everything I’ve put you through
I just hope that you’ll never forget just how much I love you.

A million memories in my mind of a million different times
And hopefully many more to come, for I pray you’re always mine
And as we talk about the future, and all our days ahead together
I just hope that I can lay beside you, your hand in mine, forever.
