We spent our days in the meadow as children,
swinging from vine to vine.
Being wild and breaking the rules,
as we chased each other through the woods.
I was told to stay away from you,
that you would not be the one for me.
I couldn't help but feel they were wrong,
running to the meadow finding you felt just right.
Perhaps I was being rebellious,
or maybe I new we were meant to be together.
We had talked about running away,
and never looking back at the past.
I hoped you were telling the truth,
as we spent hours in the meadow talking by the lake.
You worried I would regret my decisions,
even though I new my life was right in front of my eyes.
If I were to stay where I am now,
I'd be force to forget about you and never look back.
Marry the one they have chosen for me,
when truly my heart already belongs to you.
That would be a regret I'm not willing to take,
I hope now you take my hand so we can run away.
Life will not be the same,
If I'm always swinging by myself.
But having you as a partner shall be divine,
for we'll swing through life just fine.
Now take my hand,
and lead us to our life together.
