When I first met you, clouds parted and the heavens rained down

the sun never shined more brightly, 

the stars never with greater radiance

I saw the world with a new light, and my heart could almost burst with joy

But as time passed we grew apart

The excitement of our first encounter faded

we barely saw each other, heard from each other, or felt each other's presence

since I was swept away (again) by the world

I said to you in passing, "I love you so deeply

I want to get to know you more"

But there is one truth I could not deny

You can't have a relationship with someone you barely see, someone you barely spend time with

You can't expect the excitement of your first encounter to sustain the entire relationship

Eventually things will grow cold and stale

With this new found truth piercing my heart,

I push my way past the thick of branches and vines

as You fight Your way to find the place where we first met

As I stand before You my heart suddenly melts

It forgot how glorious it felt to be by Your side

and I say, "Hey, it's been a while 

 But I'd like to go steady and get to know You more
with each passing day until the end of days..."
