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
