I knew that I would love you. Although we'd never met.
My heart started to flutter as soon as the date was set.
I was nervous, happy, scared. Didn't know what I should do.
But I had to get prepared. Because I knew I would love you.
I had so many problems . Many things had to address.
I also had no way to solve them. Which had caused me lots of stress.
I had to get the money. I knew this date wouldn't be free.
Although sometimes life gets funny. I know you couldn't pay for me.
My job had to be better. I knew I didn't make enough.
Cause once we were together. I would have to buy you stuff.
I thought I had the time. Our date had been set for May.
But dropped things on the dime when you had chose another day.
I thought we'd go for breakfast but you said let's make it brunch.
Had time to grab a necklace and bring it to our lunch.
A necklace and some flowers. You surely picked a winner.
I waited there for hours. You didn't come for dinner.
I started getting nervous. How come you were not there.
The people there to serve us told me I should get some air.
But staying was my one demand I knew you'd be there soon.
I waited silverware in hand. Well, couldn't get the spoon.
The call said you were almost there and pushing to come faster.
I told you take the utmost care and just avoid disaster.
You came I looked into your eyes and knew that I was right.
I held you towards the bluesest skies my love was at first site!
