It’s Always Been You
This was taken on our wedding day November 3rd, 2007 (Ben’s birthday too). We were wed at 129 Andy Fox Lane in Clinton, TN with a bonfire we lit together, falling leaves, and our loved ones surrounding us. Each year since, I’ve given my husband a poem to commemorate our love, grateful for another year to spend with my best friend. This year it’s a song but I don’t have the talent to write the music, so I post the lyrics. He’s the best husband I’ve ever had.
I looked for love
Each time that I thought I’d had it
I’d reach out my heart to nab it
But like smoke and mirrors
It disappeared
That went on for years
As I tried to hold and grab it…
Until you.
It’s always been you
Each time that I deeply breathe
As far as I can farthest see
You cherish my heart
Because it’s you…it’s always been you.
I needed love
Everywhere I went I sought your star
Man, I traveled ever so far
Always close but no cigar
I jumped the brooms and broke the jars
My heart rejecting the impo”stars”
Because of you.
It’s always been you.
Each time that I deeply breathe
As far as I can farthest see
You cherish my heart
Because it’s you…it’s always been you.
Each time that I’d take the chance
I’d find “Mr. No-Romance” or
“Mr. Look-what’s-in-my pants” or
“Mr. I-refuse-your-dance”
But it’s simple, don’t you see?
Rejecting them for the love of me
Because of you.
It’s always been you.
Each time that I deeply breathe
As far as I can farthest see
You cherish my heart
Because it’s you…it’s always been you.

We celebrate our 8th Anniversary and I haven’t changed my mind. It’s always been him.
Aww I didn’t know it was a special day when I saw you tonight dealing with a truant officer. Ben and you are so happy together. I hope it never ends. Congratulations!!
I wish I could write music to this heart felt poem. I love the line:
“Each time that I’d take the chance
I’d find “Mr. No-Romance” or
“Mr. Look-what’s-in-my pants” or
“Mr. I-refuse-your-dance”.
That’s my theme song.
Very well said, my dears. Happy this year and so many more years to come.
Wonderfully beautiful and thoughtfully lovely.
