The other side of me




We've been married for 9 years today

We've been together for over a decade

And you know what?

Our lives are intricately intertwined in almost every way

We start and end each day with each other

We laugh, we talk, and sometimes we bicker

We're best friends

He knows me

I know him

We have children together

We finish each others sentences

But it's more than all of that, and those are wonderful things

He's still the one...


We often say to each to each other "I don't want to do this without you" and by "this" we are referring to living life and we mean it

Even on the hardest days, we wake up in the morning and choose to love the other person, no matter what.  To be committed to each other and work hard to build our life together.  To build our family together...



He's the other side of me...

Happy Anniversary to the one I love


If they were to write about
The story of my life
They would have to mention you
With every page they'd write
There's another side to every story told
 
If I were the ocean
You would be the shore
And one without the other one
Would be needing something more
We are the shadow and the light
Always love me
never leave me now
  now you are the other side of me


I have known the emptiness
Of feeling out of touch
And living life without you here
Would be living half as much
Cause I've a need that only you can fill

If love was mathematical
You'd understand the sum
To the heart's equation
Where one and one makes one
And lonely equals me minus you

Always love me
never leave me now
  now you are the other side of me
