Tonight I sit staring up at the stars
Wondering what it will be like to look you in the eye
I can’t wait for that day to have you in my arms
And whisper in your ear, “I love you” for the very first time

That day seemed as if it would never come
The days seemed like week; the weeks seemed like months
Every morning I knew the day was closer
but as the day wore on I felt I had to wait longer

I wonder how I made it this far without you
Several times there were chances that you would have never even known of my existence
Had I cut a little deeper
Had I bled a little faster

Now as I look back at those trivial times
I see how much you changed me, how much you saved me
Had I never met you I would still be wishing for death
For me, a life without you is not a life worth living

Maybe this was all coincidence
Or maybe this was fate
Maybe there is some higher power
Smart enough to know that to half living souls will make one

Whatever it was
I am glad that it happened
My love, hold my hand and here as my heart rejoices
26 days and counting
