Forever Grown

I have to look deep into your eyes
I have to make you see
What you haven't yet been able to find
I have to make you realize
As I have
That our love has with stood the test of time
Through the years it's been the love 
You showed me that in the end left me aching for more than what I had
The way you could say hello and made me feel like my world was not all so bad
The way you looked at me
Our loved ones weren't blind the could see
The feelings we had for each other 
What we felt
The way you held me in your arms
Always made me melt
The way you'd kiss my lips
So soft and tender
None could I resist
And yes I would surrender
The way you made me feel those nights
Either talking on the phone or laying by each others side
All was perfect everything so right
The way I felt when we said goodbye
I knew it was wrong
But I also knew I had to try to be strong
The way all this time we'd each thought from this we'd moved on
And it's true the past is what it is
And those moments are forever gone
I don't think either one of us however has completely moved on from a damn thing
This was more that teenage puppy love
It was surely more than a fling
Yes you are the only man
Who's always made my heart sing
Then there's the way
We are where we are today
No one wants to be alone or blue
But that's what I'll take if I can't be with you
Yes for so long now what we had together seemed to lose sight
But look into my eyes now
Do you see I'm standing before you
And for this love between us ready to fight
I still believe in all we had years before
I believe that now we can give each other more
You've opened and then locked behind you a door
Within there is my heart my soul
I gave it to you freely and so willingly
And today you still hold the key
You also still have the control
You never had to work hard to have it
It was meant to be that way
It was meant to fit
And it will never fray
You never had to try at all
You would just look deep into my eyes
Never was there a need between us to have to compromise
Somehow I guess you can say I've always known
Our love could never die but it has forever grown
