Each morning the sun shines through my window, lands on the face of a dream come true
I am so comfortable, why can't it just be nighttime so I can go back to sleep. She looks so peaceful. I love it, but it is time to go to work. Just a few more minutes though, I'll let her sleep just a few minutes more.
Lying next to you I watch you while you sleep.
She's so beautiful. I don't know why I deserve her.
I can feel the change the change you made in me but will I ever see all the things you see in me? When you say that I'm one of a kind, baby I don't see it but you believe that I'm so strong and true I promise you I'll try to be that kind of man because you love me like I am.
She wakes up and sees my face serious and unsure, but then she smiles and my day has just gotten so much better.
Shine on shine on shine on me, whenever something's missing you're exactly what I need you're love has shown me the light and now I finally see so shine on shine on shine on me.
As we get dressed you make comments that have me laughing, and the cutest faces that make my heart melt.
You lift me up like a kite on a string like a bird on new found wings, so high I'm floating flying around your loves like falling upside down.
We finish getting ready and I make her breakfast. She smiles and chats with me about light issues like re-painting the bathroom. I think to myself that is about the biggest of our problems, changing the color of our bathroom, everything else is good, it almost seems to be too good to be true.
The way that we connect keeps blowing my mind there you go again, it never ends what you did to me! That I have seen the light of day love is finally going my way is it too good to be true? Give me one more kiss, one more touch baby I just can't get enough of you. This time too good is true.
Unlike others this love is true. For once too good is true.
All of a sudden I'm not who I used to be I had my heart locked but you had the key, and you find a way every day to show me even more.
I did have my heart locked. After Nina I thought I was done. I would never love again.
I was lost in darkness in sinking sand. Well I was barely nothing a broken but you picked up them pieces of my heart in your hand and then you came and showed to me love second chance.
She looks up and tells me I've been very quiet, and asks me if I'm ok. And I tell her I have never been more happy in all my life.
I thought I knew what the real thing was but nothing shakes me like your love does I've been hypnotized now I realize. Every road that I've been down the only truth that I have found there's only one thing I can't live without. You.
We get in the car and drive to CTU, holding hands as usual I love this routine. She looks over and smiles at me as she drives and I fall for her a little more. We arrive at CTU we walk in and immediately let go of each other's hands. Its true we are married. Its true everyone knows, they just never know how much. I wish I could tell the whole world how much I love her. Let it be known that Michelle Almeida is the love of my life.
I never let my feeling show I never let anybody know how much I was so deep in love but now that your in my arms. I'm gonna stand on a rooftop, climb up a mountaintop Baby, scream and shout. I wanna sing it on the radio, show it on a video. Baby, leave no doubt I want the whole world to know just what I'm all about I love to love you out loud.
But not much time to think about this. The threat levels rise. Tension gets high. People are dying and being the director isn't easy. Things slow down but I am still stressed beyond belief. There were 4 casualties. One a 5-year-old boy. I failed those people. It was my job to protect them. She comes up to my office and she smiles at me and somehow I reflect it.
Every get lost in a temperamental mood you still stay cool, just when I think that this life's about to drive me insane you take the reins, every time I feel I'm drifting off course you're my compass you're my one truth north. In a mixed up world you make sense to me girl.
I smile. How does she do that? Take my totally horrible day and get me to smile. She really is amazing. I get a call she leaves. I need to bring these reports to Tech 1. In a few minutes I am on my way. I walk by the place we had our first kiss and think back to that day.
Talk about a sunset all I could see were purples and reds in her silhouette…she didn't come here looking for love and the cool thing was neither did I.
I smiled at the memory and then headed to Tech 1. By the time the day was over we were both worn, tired, and upset. Days at CTU were no picnic in one day we have enough stress to last a lifetime, but we always get through it because when it's over we pick each other up and move on.
You feel like a candle in a hurricane, just like a picture with a broken frame, alone and helpless like you've lost your fight but you'll be alright you'll be alright cause when push comes to shoves you taste what your made of you might bend til you break cause its all you can take, on your knees you look up decide you've had enough you get mad, you get strong, wipe your hands shake it off then you stand.
We get home and its time to relax. We get changed into our comfy clothes.
Staring at you taking off your make-up wondering why you even put it on, I know you think you do but baby you don't need it, I wish that you could see what I see when its gone.
We snuggle up on the couch. I am content watching TV with my beautiful wife. We are happy.
