our life together


My Place Is With You

I wish I could say

that I always knew you'd come along,

but I didn't.

I used to worry a lot.

The world was brimming over with people,

but they all had other

things to do

and other people to be with.

Back then I tried anxiously

to fit in with people

who weren't right for me at all,

anymore than I was right for them.

Of course, it never worked...

Then one day

You were quietly there in my life,

and gradually I realized

what something in me

had known all along.

There really is a time

and a place for everything.

We met when it was time

for us to find each other,

and the place I've always needed

is with you.
