Kindred Hearts
We hadn’t met yet,
And I knew my life had changed
Your mother told me,
This wouldn’t be the same
After work first thing home,
Grab my six string and strum away
Unconditional love for you,
With each chord my heart would frame
First time in my arms,
Held within my gaze
The world I knew before you,
In an instant completely changed
Brighter now lights seemed to shine,
You radiate sun’s light
All the rough edges of the world,
Your smile had redesigned
Most lessons we learn in life,
Are from first tries not done right
I couldn’t wait to wake to your cry,
In the middle of each night
Those special moments,
When you’d snuggle in so tight
One day no longer there for that,
I feared your love might turn to spite
But as you smiled and we danced,
In that small room holding hands
I knew why me without you,
Doesn’t stand a chance
All the fear I’d felt,
You wouldn’t feel the same
Was all erased in a moment,
By the music and a glance
I watched as you heard,
The first ring of the guitar string
And nearly wept,
As I saw your kindred heart sing
I saw it means to you,
What it means to me too
It does more than words can,
For us, our I love you!
