There were times in my life
When I felt so lost and all alone
What would life hold in store?
I could not possibly have known

Now my search for love has ended
For it is right before my eyes
Your love came unexpectedly
As it took me by surprise

Now the future is full of promise
There is so much of life to live
As my love grows in abundance
My gift of love, to you I give

We have shared so much together
And now I've come to realise
That I see my life's reflection
When I look into your eyes

Together in love eternally
Is where I see us two
Love became part of my life
From the moment I met you

"Love is the gift
you give yourself"

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
- Shawn Mullins

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.
When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back
