The best years of my life began when we first met,
I was young and full of butterflies,
Anxious to hear your response,
When I finally got the nerves to approach you

Hey how are you,
I've noticed you from afar,
And I was wondering,
Would you think me out of line if I asked to take you out

The worst lines I've ever said,
But you said yes,
And that started the journey,
That's led to now

A decade of love that's withstood the test of time,
Yes we've had our fights and near break ups,
But as I sit here with you hand and hand,
I'm grateful for the life that we've shared,

We made it,
Where most others have failed,
We weathered the storms,
So I don't care to hear that true love doesn't exist

It exists only if you're willing to commit,
Invest time in that one,
As you work through all things together,
Pour your hearts in each other

So that you know fully what's to treasure,
I'm happy I made that choice to come out of my shell,
Took that leap of faith,
Or else I never would understand what real love truly means.
