Never a Doubt

I'm no longer afraid of being lonely
Since you became part of my life
You gifted me the promise of forever
When you said you would be my wife

All the moments that have been perfect
Come from the smile you gift each day
My love, you are more than amazing
You have blessed me in many a way

When the two of us came together
Many wondered what it was all about
There were those who thought we were crazy
But my darling I never had any doubt 

Together and yet unique people
I've learned so much by being with you
Authentic and oh so amazing
I'm inspired by all that you do

A love that is meant for forever
Leaves room for each person to grow
Each day is a true celebration
With you, that's what I've come to know.

Dedicated to my sweetie and inspired by listening to
"And I Love you So" sang by: Perry Como
