In the beginning of "US", I can't help but feel like I wasted so much time trying to figure out whether you were real or not... You came outta nowhere when I was convinced that it was not my time (God's time) to have someone like you in my life. I gave up looking - altogether! In fact, I was considering the option of not dating at all until the girls were all grown! Then you popped-into my life in the most unexpected way! It's like God said "Alright young lady, you finally acnowledged that it's ME you ultimately NEED in your life and you laid your love life at my feet. So here's your answered prayer."
I battled with the possibility of you either being the real thing, or just another test. I must say - remaining such a constant in my life, my best friend from 400 miles away after I moved to SoCal opened my eyes to the blessing I had in you. Then your decision to up and move to SoCal after 8 months was like someone throwing me in a tub of ice to wake me up! You had brought it up a few times, but I never really considered it a possibility because it was such a HUGE step in a direction I didn't think neither of us were ready for! But you did, and now I couldn't be more sure that it was the best decision for us!
Here's the song that my heart sang around that time...(24/7, if you ask Keila!). I hope it brings you back to those precious memories of when we realized that it was God's plan, after all, for you and me to be...
I built a wall around this heart of mine
Never letting no one in
Didn't think I'd need a friend until now
Feeling this way won't do
I'm ready to give all of me
The question that I have of you
Will he say the things he needs to say?
Or touch me in a certain way?
I told myself just to be strong
One day the man will come along
What will I do?
Where will I go?
When it's my turn
How will I know that you're the man
I'm dreaming of?
I hope this time it's love
What will I do?
Where will I go?
When it's my turn
How will I know that you're the man
I'm dreaming of?
I hope this time it's love
Now you've opened up this heart of mine
You made me feel like no one else
Showed me there's someone besides myself
That I can depend on
Looking back I finally see
Exactly what you mean to me
You touched me in that special way
Said all the things a man should say
I kept my faith and I just stayed strong
My man finally came along
What will I do?
Where will I go?
When it's my turn
How will I know
that you're the man I'm dreaming of?
I hope this time it's love
What will I do?
Where will I go?
When it's my turn
How will I know that you're the man
I'm dreaming of?
I hope, I hope this time its love
Every single day with you
My love grows deeper and stronger its true
'Cause you've shown me things I've never known
You gave me strength to carry on
'Cause sometimes I'm afraid to let you in
Even though I know you're a good man
Still thoughts of doubt run through my mind
There's questions I have so tell me what to do
What will I do?
Where will I go?
When it's my turn
How will I know that you're the man
I'm dreaming of?
I hope this time it's love
What will I do?
Where will I go?
When it's my turn
How will I know that you're the man
I'm dreaming of?
I hope this time it's love
