I remember that first day I approached you
You were the most beautiful woman I had ever laid eyes on
Sparkling blue eyes that would melt even the toughest of hearts
So wild and free, I knew right away you were the one for me

I remember that first night we bared our souls under the stars
Touching your soft skin, I can't remember a time in my life I was so happy
My heart pounded so furiously that I thought my chest would explode
We made love that night for the first time
Pledging all that I was, all that I would be

I knew I was right, you were the one for me

I remember how proud I felt to be standing on the alter
Standing there before our friends and family, with the girl of my dreams
All was right in the world in that exact moment of time
As I placed the ring upon your finger and we spoke of vows never to be broken

Another vow from deep inside my very soul was spoken

You would always be the girl for me ...

I remember the lone tear that silently slid down your face
As you spoke of the things on your heart

So young we were, so naive ...
Growing a little older, realizing this world was not so perfect

Our love crumbled that day and a part of me died
Inside I cried as my heart was shattered into tiny pieces
Drowning in a river of tears, it was so hard to let you go

So wild and free, no longer were you the one for me

It is said that which does not kill us makes us stronger
Well, I am not dead .. and I've found that the statement is true
Enough time has passed, the wounds have slowly healed

But never shall I forget those sparkling blue eyes
and never shall I forget for one moment in time

that you truly were the girl for me

The last picture of you packed ..

Letting go .. It is now me who is free ...
