Love was the first time I met him
and his very first hello
Love was the first time he took my hand,
I knew love would grow.

Love was the first time he held me close
and tight,
Love was the first time he kissed me,
and everything was right.

Love was his first "I Love You"
warm and tender.
Love was the every special detail,
I'll always remember.

Love was the ups and downs we had.
The times we almost lost our hope,
The times we thought we wouldn't  be
able to cope.

Love was the gentle way,
 he wiped my tears away.
Love was the way we could look beyond,
and make it through each day.

Love was the honesty we always shared.
The special way in which we cared.
Love was the every little thing about him,
and I'll make that vow...
For love was what it is NOW!!!
