I'm speechless...
I met you so very long ago,
the shy little brown-haired boy I couldn't resist.
A charmer from the very first day
although everything had to go his way.
You held a special place in my heart
from the very first smile flashed towards me.
The first nine years I would never change,
I saw you grow right before my eyes,
all the while digging a hole in my heart.
I'll always cherish the memories
and remember the words.
That hole in my heart, those nine years fill.
No words or circumstances now could ever kill.
The little boy and girl we once were are gone,
it sure didn't seem to take very long.
The little boy I really liked,
it's the amazing person you've become that leaves me speechless.
You leave me breathless...
Those nine years were great,
but the last four have been the best.
The confusing emotions between us,
and the long talks about the relationship.
Always knowing we would forever be friends,
but not knowing how great it would feel.
I was there when you broke your arm,
wiping the tears when the pain was unbearable.
You were there when I couldn't walk,
pushing me and helping get me back on my feet.
Friday night football games where you were great,
amazing me again and again each night.
Our friendship has blossomed
although many relationships have failed.
You were always there with your boyish smile
helping me through another battle.
You've made me so dependent on you, and so very breathless.
It's hopeless...
Whether it be the boy the first nine years,
the amazing person the last four,
or the man that you will eventually become.
I have fallen in love with all three.
Each part of you has it's own special place,
deep in the caverns of my heart.
The same smile and gentle touch,
your charming wit and guiding hand.
For thirteen years I've watched you grow
into the amazingly perect man in front of me today.
I want it to be for forever, so I'm letting you know now.
You had me hooked from the very first smile, and I fell in love with you somewhere along the way.
The one thing that I had never planned.
The feelings inside are so great,
the pounding my heart makes each time you're near.
As we look into the future,
I need you there with me,
to hold my hand, and hug me tight.
I want to be there when your dreams are accomplished,
and your life seems perfect.
I want to be right by your side...always.
The boy...the person...the man
they leave me speechless, breathless, and forever hopeless.
