You Were There

I guess you've heard, I guess you know
In time I'd have told you, but I guess I'm too slow
It's not overly romantic, but I know that it's real
I hope you don't mind if I say what I feel
It's like I'm in somebody else's dream
This could not be happening to me.

But you were there
And you were everything I'd never seen
You woke me up from this long
And endless sleep, I was alone
I opened my eyes and you were there

Don't be alarmed, no don't be concerned
I don't wanna change things, leave them just as they were
I mean nothing's really different, it's me who feels strange
I'm always lost for words when someone mentions your name
I know that I'll get over this for sure
I'm not the type to dream there could be more

But you were there
And you were everything I'd never seen
You woke me up from this long
And endless sleep, I was alone
I opened my eyes and you were there

Can I take your smile home with me
Or the magic in your hands ...
The rain has stopped, the storm has passed
Look at all the colours now the sun's here at last
I suppose that you'll be leaving, but I want you to know
Part of you stays with me even after you go
Like an actor playing someone else's scene
This could not be happening to me.

But you were there
And you were everything I'd never seen
You woke me up from this long
And endless sleep, I was alone
I opened my eyes and you were there.

I know I'm not alone
No, not alone
I opened my eyes and you were there.

When David and I were discussing in detail about how we met, he said that he thought I was very direct when I asked him questions at the bus stop and in the bus. And there I was thinking I was making small-talk. He said, "You asked who I lived with!" and now it does seem a bit too forward but at the time it didn't seem that personal. I've been told a few times that I ask a lot of questions but I didn't realise I was asking so many that were really none of my business.

I guess it's easy (and fun) to look back on that day because of where it lead to. He said that when he asked my email he thought it was "Now or never". I told him that he looked really shy and unsure when he asked which made me agree to give him my email.

He still has this combination of confidence and humbleness which is so attractive. There are so many things I like about him, I'm starting to think I can overcome all his bad points. I always had an image of what kind of guy would make me happy and he doesn't fit that image but he still makes me extremely happy. So does it really matter how he makes me happy? Some things he does I would never even expect (and if you've read my blog for a while, you'd know I had pretty high expectations). If he could always make me feel like how I've been feeling for the last few weeks, does it really matter if he believes in God or is from a totally different culture/background?
