Two Become One

Our eyes shone bright with happiness and wonder
Both of us began a new life on that day
I felt as though a sea of love just pulled me under
Never to return me from that gracious bay
All dressed up in white, both him and I
standing in the house of our one and only Lord
The faces of our friends and family looking side to side
as we sang out each of our vows, word after word
Such a joyous occasion, bringing together separate lives
Two single flames now turn into only one
As now he is my husband, and I am his wife
We walk arm in arm out into the shining sun
We drive our first road, as unity begins
I look at him and know he is my soul mate
He returns my look and can't help but grin
Butterflies fill my stomach as if it's our first date
Three long years we walked together
and it seems as if this is just a start
I know that we'll be one forever
And I know that he now holds my heart
I've never felt better in my eighteen years
than on the day that I got married
We shed so many happy tears
No longer will loneliness be carried
