Keepsake

Two and a half years already passed us by
I can't believe all this time gone with you by my side
I sit and gather all our treasured memories
Hold them close to my heart
All the while I anticipate our future with open arms

Dreams of babies
Saying "I do", you and me
A little dog, a cozy home
Knowing you'll never be alone
Baby, our life together
That's my keepsake

Some would say that love slows down
After you've been together 
Well honey for me it only gets better
I can't even see my life before you 
And I wait for dying with you to come true
My heart is yours to forever take
You're my keepsake

Some have little china glass
A hand made dress
A pretty chest overfull of their future life appliances
I have only our happiness
It's all i'll ever need
Cause you and I
That's my keepsake.

Our life 
Is my only keepsake.....
