What We Needed

I erased your name from my journal

And all pictures of you tonight

Maybe I can’t stop my thoughts

But I finally figured out what’s right

So I’m here looking at him

Wishing he would scream and shout

I’m ripped apart and helpless

Bet you already figured out

We’re further apart

Then we needed

But it’s a start I believed in

You’ll go away

And I’ll stay here

That’s the way things have to be

We’re further part

I’ve succeeded in losing you

All those things you told me

They got inside my head

I stopped remembering my love

And went with you instead

So here I’ll sit by myself

Because he doesn’t want me near

But I’ll take that to losing him

You know that my biggest fear

We’re further apart

Then we needed

But it’s a start

I believed in

You’ll go away

And I’ll stay here

That’s the way things have to be

We’re further apart

And I’m forgetting you tonight

I won’t hang on I’ll let go

Forget everything I showed

For once in my life

This is the right choice

I’m letting go of you tonight

So here’s goodbye

I’m walking on, starting over

Once again ...

We’re further apart

Then we needed

Because I’m gone.

Today I look into the eyes of my best friend, companion, and greatest love
With undying devotion and deepest adoration give myself to you in marriage
Through the many roads we’ve traveled together, the stars have aligned us
In times of sorrow I will be there as your smile, in struggles as your pillar of strength
Though many roads we may wander get rough or uneven, I will tread evenly with you
Whether we walk with grace or stumble, we shall fall and rise again together
When life becomes difficult I know our love will show us the way
Before God, himself I promise with all my heart to cherish you, and hold you in highest regard
These things I give to you today, and for all the days of our new life.
Now as your best friend, companion, and greatest love I ask… Will you be mine?
