I Do

All I thought I ever wanted
All I ever hoped.
All I ever needed
was
a feeling that someone loved me.

Ever since we talked that night
Ever since we knew.
Ever since I gave my heart
It belonged to You.

My future path is yet unknown
yet some of it holds true.
The fire in my heart
is love
Something brought by You.

I look at each choice
that I must choose.
And choosing is half the battle.
Its a moment
alone
chasing a career.
Or a lifetime
of Love
and having You near.

Whatever I choose
Please know in your heart
That all of me lives for You.
And the greatest day
I could imagine
Is the day I say
I Do.
