This Is It

 Almost three decades of searching

Countless nights spent wondering

Feeling lonely having no hand to hold

Dying to know what the future foretold


Never revealed my heart to anyone

Yet still got it broken in more ways than one

Then you came along and I began

To let the light shine on, feel the warmth of the sun


What we had was far from shiny, new, or perfect

But never have I felt abandoned or left behind

Our flaws have cut and bruised us through the years

Yet, miraculously, you have slowly extinguished my fears


As the day drew near that we say "yes" to a lifetime

I think about the loves we had that came and went

How I was so lost thinking I could never find you on time

But it is when I never noticed that the heaven-sent packaged arrived


Though I worry for the future that lies ahead

Uncertainties, what-ifs, regrets sometimes fill my head

There was no darkness around the topic of what we had

In these ill-fated times, the thought of "us" made me glad


We may never be faultless and we have a lifetime to falter

But surprisingly, no doomsday thoughts of mine could alter

The decision to walk down the aisle, hand in hand with you

I've said the words long ago, and I'll say it again... I do.
