Then there was you,
You with your ragged smile
And sun and surf and youth
You with your live in the moment
All there is is now:
You let me in, you carved a home
Of love and earth and sky
Of summer skin and nights within
A home beneath the stars.
Then there was you,
You with your ocean eyes
And wind and waves and dare
You have my heart,
My truth in this:
Of love and earth and sky
Your childlike faith,
Your morning kiss of
All there is is this;
All that matters is here;
All I want is now with you
Of love and earth and sky
Forever blessed,
I turn to rest, grateful that
Then
There was you.
