Those things we used to do
Those things we used to say
Why oh please tell me why
Again they can’t be that way
The hopes and dreams we shared
The goals we’d striven for
The marriage that we vowed
Before we closed the door
I want to share them still
Our hopes and dreams fulfilled
Our marriage back together
By ourselves as we rebuild

You told me you love me
But not in love anymore
Say you can’t see a way
To find what was before
This is not the first time
These words dropped from your lips
Months ago you said them
Your hands upon your hips
I understand your meaning
Even though you think I don’t
I just refuse to believe
I can’t, I shan’t, I won’t
Love we had together
For years until our fall
The love that we both shared
So we could give our all
Talking on the telephone
Proposed on Waikiki
Aimed to love you dearly
And give you my heart’s key
Honeymooned in Gatlinburg
The next year Niagara Falls
Why won’t you remember?
What fear is in those halls?
What would it really take
You and I to be one?
How can we ever find
The time to make it, hon?
Some people love their drugs
Alcohol for others will do
All that I know is this
I am addicted to you!

Everything
All there is
Love has failed me
To keep things together
I search for the reasons
Why it shouldn’t be over
Well, everyone is different
Every situation is different
And I can’t see an end
No finality
Nothing

Oh why do I worry?
Why do I try to see
That path before me set
The path that’s just for me
I try to be humble
I try to be a man
And to follow that path
The very best I can
The path is a hard one
That to me is so true
I can only make it
If I give up to You

I love you in the mornings
In the evenings I also do
I love you in the twilight
And with the morning dew
I love to see you smiling
About the things you love
I love to see you happy
My beautiful, lovely dove
With you I love to shop
Spending time just with you
I love to watch you sleep
As somtimes you softly coo
I love to rub you muscles
I love to give you things
I love just being your husband
Among the great blessings
I love to sit and hold you
Deep into the night
I love you all the time
Even when we fight
I give you my true promise
That I will be true blue
If only you will let me
Be with forever with you

The years have treated you kindly
And of that there is no doubt
This day of yours is special
A good day you should flout
I wish I was there with you
To celebrate this day
To hold and hug you tight
Till come whatever may
I find myself adrift
O’er what we both could do
If ever I had a wish
I wish to be with you

I love every inch of your body
I love every inch of your hair
What oh what more can I do
To show you how much I care?
The best is what I want for you
The best is what I can to give
Why oh why do we do this
When together we can live?
I try to be the best man
In that I sometimes fall short
I want to be that best man
But stupidly I do thwart
Promise to be your your husband
In every way I can
Oh please give us this last chance
For me to be your man

I wish that we could talk
The way we used to do
Deep into darkest night
All about me and you
The dreams we had in mind
The deepest thoughts we shared
The rumors of our love
Through our talks were declared
I miss the talks that we had
I miss the time with you
I miss the moonlit walks
Please don’t say we’re through

I think of this thing ending
Of all the things we’ve done
The blame for this situation
Is not the fault of one
We both have made mistakes
We both have strayed, it’s true
I want to overcome
Our problems still with you

I don’t know whether I am going to upset some people or have them agree with me but here it goes.
I feel love, I guess the marrying kind, is when you are so wrapped up in the other person that you don’t know where you end and they begin. It’s unconditional. Things can happen, really bad things, and still you love them. You forgive. You may not forget, but do forgive. Love is when you spend every waking moment and some sleeping ones thinking about this person. You want what’s best for them. You do little things and big with no thought of getting anything in return. That doesn’t mean you let them run over you, but if they love you they will feel the same.
I am at that point, I have to forgive. It’s required of me because I love this person. I am in love with her. I have never been out of love with her. She is the reason I would get up in the morning and the reason I would come home. I enjoy spending time with her, vacations, watch television or more “intimate” time.
