I was dead 'til I met you.
Just waiting 'til my life was through.
Thinking it would never end.
Never really had a friend.

Sinking deeper in the mist.
I'd never had an honest kiss.
Always thought I'd be alone.
Never really had a home.

Heart is home, or so they say.
I never thought I'd see the day.
A place in life where I belong.
Arms to hold me, safe and strong.

Then there was you, so handsome and proud.
Head thrown back as you laughed out loud.
I looked down and smiled so you wouldn't see.
When I looked back up, you were smiling at me!

Thinking you were making fun,
I almost turned away to run.
But there was something, deep inside,
that wouldn't let me run and hide.

Something about you made me stay.
I know I'll never forget that day.
Looking back, it was your eyes
looking at me so gentle and wise.

You came to me and took my hand
You touched me like no other man.
You stroked my hair and wiped my tears.
Even then you understood my fears.

It's been 14 years since that day,
and though I've never been one to pray,
I ask what ever powers may be
that you'll understand how you set me free.

To keep you right here in my arms
I'd sell my soul to prevent you harm.
You are my heart, my home, my safe and strong.
You are the place where I belong.

This is dedicated to my Husband, Emery, to whom I owe my life.

and with the words you've written and the love you expressed i'd say he must owe a pretty big part of his to you! nicely done!
