I stepped forward
Putting beside my fear
Into the unknown I went
Two cheeks full of tears
My heart was broken often
With no one to share
As the loneliness grew heavy
I knew you were out there
I just didn’t know where

And on that day
As I felt it all fall apart
I couldn’t help but notice
It really wasn’t that hard
Your smile beamed across the room
That alone stole my heart
With the years all behind us
I still remember the spark
And how you light up the dark
