Was It Really Worth It

Sitting in a hotel on a cold winters night
My eye caught a vision of someone walking by
A guy who smiled and said “Hi.”
I said “Hi” back
But little did I know 
He would be the love of my life for almost a year

As time went by
You couldn’t separate my love and I
We spent days talking and singing
We spent nights laughing and dancing
We had our happy times 
We had our sad times
But together we got through

Then the night came
I got a phone call
My love said that it just wasn’t working
It was hard but I said “OK,” and went to bed
I cried myself to sleep
But felt better in the morning

Two weeks past, I got another phone call
It was my love that left me two weeks ago
He asked if we could give it another try
I said “yes,” because I still loved him

So we spent days talking and singing
Nights laughing and dancing
It was fun while it lasted
For three months or more
He held me tight and said “I love you”
It was better then the first time

Then June came, It was my birthday
He called to say he wasn’t coming to see me
He said that we were through
So I cried till my eyes were red and sore

I read the old love letters over a thousand times or more
I thought of all the times we were together
I recalled the times he said “I love you”
But through it all we stayed friends

Then one night he came to my door
Said that he wanted to talk, said he had troubles
“Ok,” I said in a small voice
Then after a while he turned wild
He grabbed me, he hurt me
I was bruised and sore
I was scared, terrified 
I was weak and tired
For what he did to me
Was it really worth it?

Without You

Before I met you my life wasn’t complete
There was always something empty inside
An acing sadness that needed to be full-filled
I felt a yarning to hold someone forever

Then one day without even looking there you were
You were in my life and everything was so simple
You were honest and caring
Carefree and not worried about showing me what you felt

Time went by and our love grew stronger
With every tender touch and every kiss
I knew I wanted you forever
No matter what I never wanted to you go

Now after all this time I love you more then ever
We have overcome some big challenges over time
There were tears of pain and joy
Our love has stood the test of time

Tonight is a special night for us
A night to hold in our hearts and our minds forever
An evening I wish would never end
A moment to freeze in time

As I hold you and look into your eyes
I hope you realize how much I love you
How much I need you in my life
Most of all that I wouldn’t be the person I am today without you.

I Love You

There you were standing at my door
I was so nervous but excited at the same time
Sitting there talking to you, getting to know you
You were funny, smart and gentle
In a short time I realized that I wanted to be near you all the time

As the months and years flew by you were my best friend
I knew I loved you and always would
Then the night came when you put that little ring on my finger
You told me that you loved me and wanted me forever

Three months after pledging our love we were going to be a family
A dream come true for the both of us
Then before I knew it our son was born
He brought us so much joy
Life just wouldn’t be the same without him

Four years have gone by since then
It has been far from easy
We have had our share of challenges
Yet through it all our love has concurred all
Our love is stronger then ever

Now after five years of marriage
We will soon be completing our family
Another bond for us to share
Our love is unbreakable

Tonight, our fifth wedding anniversary
I look at you and all I see is love
I know that I will hold you in my heart and soul forever
I will love you now and always
I will love you till I take my last breath
