Oh - thinkin' about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothin' can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more

Does he know I’d feel this way even if he wasn’t who he is? Does he know how just being here, with him, makes my life have purpose? Does he know I would do it all over again?

Baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it here in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

Does he know that, honestly, this has to be better than heaven? Does he know that this song was written about us, before we were ever together? Does he remember the first day of fifth grade when he saved me from that boy who was making fun of me? Does he remember the day he left to go reach for his dream? Does he remember the night he came back, he came back for me, because of all nights in my life...I got stood up for my prom? Does he know what his friendship means?

Oh - once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down
Ya-nothin' could change what you mean to me
Oh there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way

Does he remember the day we stood in the rain, both realizing in an instant that there was more now? Does he remember the night we looked into each other’s eyes and said the words?

Baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it here in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

Does he know the thoughts that creep into my head as I lay here, wrapped in his arm, knowing, with every fiber of my being, that I am where I belong? Does he know I thank God for giving me the chance to love him? Does he know I thank God for letting him love me? Does he know that this is as real as it gets? Does he know I would cut out my own kidney for him if he needed it?

I've been waitin' for so long
For somethin' to arrive
For love to come along
Now our dreams are comin' true
Through the good times and the bad
Ya - I'll be standin' there by you

Does he know I will be there? Does he know I love him? Does he know I waited for him? Does he know?

“What are you thinking about?” His voice is sleepy, his eyes are heavy.

“You.”

“What about me?” His eyes dance, like only his can.

“Do you know?”

The smile. My smile. The smile that is only for me. “Do I know that you lay awake, hours after you should be sleeping, thinking...wondering? Yes. I know. I know you, I know us, I know the thoughts, the dreams, the fears, the feelings, the emotions.”

“You think you know. But do you really?”

He rolls onto his side, the eyes, the green windows to the world, look down at me. His perfect hand caresses my cheek, like it has never been caressed before. “I know.”

He knows.
