My one and only love...

When we met
I was tongue-tied at your beauty…
Unable to tell you how
I felt about you…
But then when I caught my courage
You were already taken…
So I stood by and watched him with you
An unwilling victim to envy…
And so months passed and I left you two be…
Then you split from him and I lost my feelings…

I lost track of you when I was with her…
And when she and I split, my pain clouded my mind…
Months turned to years and I could never get you out of my head…
But I never told you how I felt…
Never let you know…
The truth…

Then you left for Nevada and I had to let you know…
I told you and we talked forever…
Then I told you those three little words…
Those words which have been uttered over the centuries…
I love you…
I love you…
I love you…

Then I made the biggest mistake of my life…
I let you go…
Let you slip between my fingers…
And the tears began to flow…
I couldn’t get you out of my head…
I couldn’t sleep…
I knew you’d be in my dreams…
I couldn’t eat…
Cause my body wouldn’t let me…

So on that smoke laden night…
I begged for forgiveness…
I pleaded for your love…
Then you did what I never expected…
You forgave me…
You loved me again…
So I told you again…
With that old feeling in my heart…
I told you…
I love you…
