Happy Valentine's Day!
Yes, I know its a day late, but blame the day being on a Tuesday... and things taking 2 days to get somewhere.
So I got Nick's card today. He made it himself. On some VERY thick card stock.
Well, what happened is that I got to the mailbox and there was his envelope. I already knew it was coming... I open it. He has sprayed his cologne on it. So I immediately get to smell him. Its a beautiful card with an orchid on the front.
I open it, its a trifold. Along the sides and middle are poems. I read them and begin to cry.
I get home and tell him that I got them. He tells me that the ones on the sides are from Lifehouse. But the middle he wrote himself. He said "The lyrics on either side are from Lifehouse, the one's in the middle are one's that I wrote that day for you." I begin to cry again because it is so beautiful:
There was a time that
I thought I'd never love again
When the world had shut me out
Forever to be cast in lonelyness
Seeking companionship where there was none
Then one day you entered my life
You brought a lite into the darkness
You showed me the way out
A way to find myslef and my reason
It was you who saved me
It was you who cared for me
It was you who wanted me
It was you who loved me
We feed off of each other
Taking notice of what we love
Listening to what we know to be true
Caressing each other in our embraces
Giving every bit as much as we take
Then one day I said, "I love you"
My heart beating like it never had
My body feeling with life
A life it never thought it would feel again
It was you who saved me
It was you who cared for me
It was you who wanted me
It was you who loved me
and he signed it "I love you with all my heart"
(The songs are "Anchor" and "Empty Space" BTW)
I love him. I don't know what I did to deserve him. I don't know what I'd do without him now....
