I knew from the beginning, you were something special in my life
Not by the way you shook hands with my dad firmly, because anyone can do that
Not by the way you dressed up for me in your khakis and baby blue dress shirt on that first date, because anyone can do that to impress me
And not by the fashion in which you talked to me, because anyone can talk smooth

But by your gentle touch, how you treated me like porcelain
But by the way you always made eye contact, acknowledging,understanding, caring
But by the way you always called me back, and never forgot
How I was your first priority from the start of the relationship.

You are nothing like him. Not by your looks, nor your actions.
You are considerate not selfish.
You are innocent not sinful.
You are dignified not foolish.
Every girl desires someone to treat them as you treat me.

Now today, close to a year later, that solid foundation we both made is paying off,
We have a plan for the future and have the means to follow through.
We have the mutual want to follow through
It is now up to us what we will do
I have faith that it will happen, but time will be the judge.
