Stealing My Heart {again}

This morning, the morning before my 36th birthday, my husband stole my heart all over again with this text.

Ben Rue – I Can’t Wait

The way you curse when we’re in traffic
A million flavors of your chap stick
The way that you keep my heart captive
The Journey concert in A.C
Remember, we sang “Faithfully”
I’ve still got that old hotel room key

This is the way I feel
I can’t wait for you to be my wife
To live this life together
And I won’t let you go
I need you to know
That you are my heart forever
And on and on and on

The way you like to sing my songs
You always know when something’s wrong
The way you say you miss me when I’m gone
The things you do to show you care
You’re always down for “Truth or Dare”
Freeze this moment, let me stop and stare

Nothing before was real
This is the way I feel

I can’t wait for you to be my wife
To live this life together
And I won’t let you go
I need you to know
That you are my heart forever
And on and on and on
Yeah, we’ll go on and on and on

For better or for worse
No matter how it hurts
You’ve got me to hold your hand
I promise you the world

And in your wedding dress
We’ll dance ’til there’s no one left
I don’t want to blink my eyes
I don’t want to miss a thing

I can’t wait for you to be my wife
To live this life together
And I won’t let you go
I need you to know
That you are my heart forever

I can’t wait for you to be my wife
To live this life together
And I won’t let you go
I need you to know
That you are my heart forever
And on and on and on
Yeah, we’ll go on and on and on

The first time my husband told me I had to listen to the words of a song, it was Lone Star’s Amazed. It moved him so much he had to pull off the side of the road.  That song eventually became the song we danced to at our wedding.  The second time was Rascal Flatt’s God Bless The Broken Road, which still brings me to tears.

17 years of being with this man, he still takes my breath away.
