The Life Ahead of Us

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.
