How Was I to Know You Were the One

by Amazed By You   Jan 17, 2012


The day I met you was nothing special
I can't even remember it
How was I to know that you were the one?

The day we got put next to each other in class
It was nothing special
The months of talking and not paying attention
Were nothing special
I knew I thought you were cute
And we had fun during class
But that was all
How was I to know you were the one?

When summer came I was happy to get out of school
But I never thought I'd talk to you again
Even though you said we should hang out
And I agreed
But I thought that was nothing special
How was I to know you were the one?

Then that one fateful evening came
The one that changed my life
So many things came to together that night
To bring us together
You just happened to be staying at your friend's house
And you were on his account
I just happened to be online when you came on
You started talking to me
But even then
How was I to know that you were the one?

That night lasted forever
And ended too soon
We talked for hours
Staying up until six in the morning
I thought you were so interesting
And you attracted me very much
But even then
How was I to know that you were the one?

The next night I made sure I was on
Just in case you came on
It made me happy to see your name pop up on the screen
We spent another night talking until very early in the morning
Getting to know each other so fast
I felt like we had been friends forever
But even then
How was I to know you were the one?

You invited me to your house
It seemed like an innocent invitation
We were suddenly good friends
At first it was awkward to actually be with you
After our intense late night talks
But I got comfortable
As I am sure you did as well
Eating dinner with your family was a challenge
I got through it though
With you
But even then
How was I to know you were the one?

Exactly one week later
After our first talk
You confessed you liked me
And all I could say was that's sweet
I knew I liked you too
But what about my friend?
The one who liked you first
I wanted to tell you how I felt
How I was compelled by you
But even then
How was I to know that you were the one?

Two days later I told you how I felt
I didn't have my friend's blessing
But I knew I had to go through with it
There was just something about you
And then we were together
That very night
But even then
How was I to know you were the one?

A month later I knew I loved you
It scared me
How could I feel so strongly for you after only a month?
It took a lot for me to express my feelings
I had to run from you after telling you
Luckily you felt the same
You told me so later
But even then
How was I to know you were the one?

And I don't know when it happened
When I realized that you were the one
The one that I will always love
The one that I want to spend the rest of my life with
The one I will never let go of
The one I will marry
The one I will have a family with
The one that inspires me in every way
The one who amazes me
The one I was meant to be with
And the one that loves me just as much as I love him

I don't know when it happened
But I feel blessed that it did
The security I feel with you
The safety I feel when you're around
I wouldn't trade this for anything
This incredible feeling of love
That surrounds me whenever we're together

The day we met
How was I to know you were the one?
