Always Been There

I was looking for something
Someone that would care
And though I didn't know it
You'd always been there.

I knew you
Only from a picture in a frame
You were only a thought to me
Composed of an image and a name.

But then we were introduced
As if in a dream
And since then I've wondered
What it is that I'm feeling.

Our parents had been friends
But we took it a step farther
When we finally announced
That we loved one another.

No longer did you live only in a photograph
You were something real
You were just what I needed
When my heart had to heal.

I love you so much
And I can't believe how much you care
And how much you love me
Although you've always been there.
