I kept telling a myself 1000 reasons
Why it could not be
A 1000 days went by
How odd now, to think
It was almost never
You and me
Too stubborn
My mind
So busy trying to forget
A past life
But still you slipped through the seams
Intertwined in my thoughts
Like old Northern pines
Mended around
This weary heart of mine
I was a whisper in the wind
And still you held tight
Gave me more solid ground
Than you'll ever know
I was a ship out to sea
And still you stayed
Without a second thought
People talk about the many deceived
And rarely the few who keep us afloat
No matter rich
No matter poor
Today
I have 1000 more reasons
To love you even more
