From that very first moment
That you walked into my life
In that blue snap-up shirt, open for public view
Tempting my imagination
Dulling my senses
Teasing my fantasies
You were like an addiction
And day after day
Getting drawn more and more into your world
Each moment convincing me
My heart wouldn�t survive getting too close
But slowly with your charm
Even despite your arrogance
You melted through my defenses
Convinced my heart it was worth the risk
That I was falling head over heels
In love with you.
From that first movie of flyboys at war
That we had to leave from too early,
To the eye-covering and gore
Of the one we sat all the way through�
From the adrenaline and daring of a Marine
To save a precious love,
To the double agent that laughed at danger,
And fell all too easily for Mrs. Wrong�
How about those perfect nights
Under the stars in your arms
Or lying there, watching you sleep�
The hugs I wish would�ve lasted forever
The comforting feel of your arms
So full of strength and love
Like an iron cage holding off the world
Chasing all my worries away
Seeing me through more than one tragedy,
The intoxicating kisses that burned their impressions in my memory
Always best after a round of Chinese
Threaded with the tang of pepper steak and lo mein.
You stole my heart completely
Romanced me heart and soul�
Lifting me in your arms like I weighed nothing at all,
Dipping me beneathe the car port, kissing me,
Making me feel like some actress in a movie,
And than the crazy pictures,
Leaving me with memories I�ll never forget.
I love you, Alexander�
With all my heart,
With all my soul�
And no matter what the future brings,
No matter what tomorrow holds,
Remember that.
