How did I come to love you the way I do

This was not the plan

We were both seventeen back then

When you said you’d love me forever

I couldn’t believe it

Forever sounded like a dream

We were so young

I feared if I gave in we’d lose our way

I did all sorts of wrong to sway you

Maybe you could change your mind about me

But you never faltered

You put up with me on a day to day

I’m surprised you’re still here

Your love didn’t fade away

This mark you made, something I can’t erase

You came to stay

Now it’s time I let you know,

That I have come to love you back

I’ll never let you go

These feelings you stirred up inside

It’s time I let it show

It’s time we let us grow
