He's my paperweight

In case I haven't said it lately. I am wildly, wildly, happy. And just so there's no confusion. I'm not happy because I'm planning a wedding, and I get to wear a pretty expensive dress, and carry nice flowers. It's because I am one of the luckiest girls on the whole damn planet. I feel sorry for people who had to settle for something less then the best. Or people who won't ever get to feel the way I feel everyday. Every morning I wake up I'm surprised at how much more I love him. Whenever I see him it's like the first time. We never run out of things to say to each other. When we first started dating we would have 6 and 7 hour long "phone dates" and now months later, we still have that. It's never forced, and even the awkward silence with him is comfortable. I've always been taught that the person you love and plan on spending the rest of your life with should make you want to be a better person. And he does that! He's my paperweight. He knows when to let me fly, knows when to let me soar. But he also knows how to bring me down and ground me. He's the paperweight on my back. Now that I am with him, not only do I feel complete, but I feel like I am finally the person I was made to be. All the missing links of who I was materialized when I met him. With him it's beyond the material. It's beyond the houses, and cars, the money, the dinners, the celebrities, the vacations. Beyond the flower and candy. The diamonds, and sapphires. The Manolo's and Chanel. It's so much deeper with him. There's a familiarity with him. It's like my soul's known him forever. I'm in complete awe of him. I listen to him speak and sometimes I'm afraid to move because I don't want to miss anything. There will be countless of people who won't understand, who won't agree. People who say this shouldn't work, or it won't work. But I dare these nay-sayers to watch. Watch us and then you'll see. God chose two silly little people to smile upon in the greatest of ways. To bless them beyond what their human minds could comprehend. If you haven't found this yet, I charge you to stay silent. Be still....It will come. I believe everyone gets a chance...But not everyone takes it. Some are busy with others, some choose to ignore, some take it for granted. Be silent, keep your eyes open, and when you see it take it. That's what I did, and I couldn't be happier.

been up all night staring at you
wondering what's on your mind
i've been this way with so many before
but this feels like the first time
you want the sunrise to go back to bed
i want to make you laugh
mess up my bed with me
kick off the covers i'm waiting
every word you say i think
i should write down
don't want to forget come daylight
happy to lay here
just happy to lbe here
i'm happy to know you
play me a song
your newest one
please leave your taste on my tongue
paperweight on my back
cover me like a blanket
mess up my bed with me
kick off the covers i'm waiting
every word you say i think
i should write down
don't want to forget come daylight
and no need to worry
that's wastin time
and no need to wonder
what's been on my mind
it's you
it's you
it's you
every word you say i think
i should write down
don't want to forget come daylight
and i give up
i let you win
you win cause i'm not counting
you made it back
to sleep again
wonder what you're dreaming
