I held my breath
when I first caught sight of you
As if my soul knew
I was
diving deep
You didn’t notice me
But I saw you
in the crowd
And my heart murmured
Yes
Dressed in white
your smile a beacon at the end of the aisle
My heart pounding
in my chest.
I’m diving deep.
You can’t keep your eyes off me
despite the crowd
of family and friends
We proclaim
Yes
Yes
Years roll by
Sickness, health, children, home
Sometimes
it’s hard
to hold my breath
through the sadness
of diving deep
would you still
choose me out of a crowd?
Sometimes I need to remind myself
yes
yes
But
The way you smile
hold my hand
Still
makes me hold my breath
Now
I know the cost
the joy
I want to
dive deep
I’d still pick you
out of a crowd
yes
yes
a thousand times
yes
