Never Know
When our eyes first met, making me nervous but content.
When we first talked, I knew I wanted to know you.
You wanted to take me to Denny's, unsure I wanting to know more.
We sat on the picnic table talking,
I guess I impressed you with my morals.
We went to the movie and I wanted to hold you,
I did. I could tell that this was it.
You told me more, I was not daunted or swayed.
I met Annette, stuck my foot in my mouth.
You met mom, she was impressed.
We went for the ride, my life forever changed.
I went away, needed to call you to wish you happy birthday.
Letting you know that I love you, and you waited for me.
You proposed to me, I accepted.
We made love together, you cried.
We shared our lives, I rejoiced.
We continued to talk, worries, reluctance.
We purchased the wedding ring, to consummate the love.
We made quest list, and drew up a home.
We had a fight, I cried. We made up, happy again.
We went to Bar Harbor, to set things in motion.
We had a problem, and you tried to work it through.
I got short tempered, fearing the worst.
We went back to Bar Harbor, I erupted.
We shared a great meal, because of the company.
We returned and it died. I miss you very much.
I got angry, said things I didn't mean.
You retaliated, in good form.
I have just one thing to say, it is true;
You never know what you have,
until it's gone
