On the day she was born her mother held her in her arms
her happiness cascading down in tears.
She kissed her forehead, held her tiny hand in hers
then whispered in her ear…

Do you want to know a secret?
It’s crazy but it’s true.
For as long as I can remember
I’ve been waiting here for you.

You were a thought I had when I was young…
A wish that persevered…
A dream that reached perfection
the day when you appeared…

There may come a time..a moment in your life
before your childhood is through
When you might stop and wonder
when I first fell in love with you.

I’m not sure how it happened
I’m not sure how I knew
But there has always been a place in my heart
I had reserved for you.

A place both warm and comforting
where my love for you survived…
And there it waited patiently
for the day you would arrive…

I’ve had years of love stored up for you…
waiting for the day our lives would intertwine…
and the truth is…
I did not fall in into your love…
you fell into mine.
