Magic

My husband is a song writer. I'm not talking kinda a song writer. I'm talking "should be a John Mayer song" kind of song writer. He doesn't know it but I have several of his song stashed away in a folder or in my drawers. He will write them on pieces of paper and leave them out. I will wait to see if he is going to do something with the paper and maybe he already put it in his macbook, for all I know. Eventually, I pick up the paper and stash it away. Then today as I'm organizing my clothes I find one. I read it and begin to tear up knowing that the man that I'm married to loves me like this. It makes a girl weak at the knees.

I'm still amazed that you are standing here with me

Still amazed that you chase me

You've given me the wings to

fly over this earth

I just want to give you me

I can still hear the cry

from the room where she was born

I can still see the tears on

your face

I've never been good at

sharing all that burns in me

But, I need to tell you this

It's been a journey that we've

both been traveling

Sometimes it seems a million years

There's no on else I'd rather

walk it with

There'll be better days than this

But when it's long

I'll find the magic in your kiss

When you're down

I will lift you up again

I will remember

Where the magic always lives

It lives in you

It lives in you
