All of the words I had locked away in the pages of my mind
Now flow from me because you inspire me to write them.
All of the beauty I never saw before I met you
Is crystal clear because you crumbled the walls around me.
All of my feelings are amplified and reborn every time
I hear your voice or look into your eyes.
All of the fear that once trembled through me
Fell away the moment you touched my life.
All of the pain in my past that left me dead inside drifted
Into oblivion because you chased them from my spirit.
All of the strength and courage I was given was hiding
Until you cast light on the shadows within me.
All of the days that have passed since your first hello
Have seen one more scar from my heart disappear.
All of the roads I’ve traveled and every step I’ve taken
Have all led me to the depths of your soul.
All of the passion I harbored for so long without knowing
Is mine to share because your love set me free.
All you are or could ever possibly be is everything to me…
