Realize


This song reminds me so much of when Duane and I first started seeing each other - just 2 years ago! There are so many little memories that we both hold onto from that time and still talk about. It was the beginning of the rest of our lives together.

I know for me, in the beginning, there was a series of defining choices I had to make for myself. I had no idea that those few short months would be the beginning of my happily ever after. Having him in my life... I have my best friend. There is so much that he has given to me, that we have given to each other. In such a short amount of time my world has seemingly spun up around me. We have built a love and a trust in each other that is so amazingly strong I never would have believe it could exist. We have created a new home for us both. We have created a new life with each other that is so much more than what we had before. He has given me my children - which, if you know me, you know exactly what they mean to me and how much I have always wanted them.

I think about my life before May 26, 2006 - the day that we both admitted we were crazy for each other after 16 years of friendship. I realize how little I knew about true happiness at that time.

After not being able to get him out of my head for weeks, I realized that there was something more to our friendship.
I realized that I was so perfectly comfortable and happy with him at all times.
I realized that he is a good man who has the intelligence and the capacity to do so much in life.
I realized that unlike usual, my head wasn't in charge, my heart had taken over and rationality and logic didn't matter.
I realized how much I really loved him - really loved him - regardless of what I needed, I wanted him to be happy. This was a feeling I had never known before.
Over the next few months I realized how much I needed him in my life.


I can't even imagine where I would be without him. I almost can't believe that we were almost too afraid to take the chance. I am so thankful for him every day.




"Realize"



Take time to realize,

That your warmth is. Crashing down on in.

Take time to realize,

That I am on your side

Didn't I, Didn't I tell you.



But I can't spell it out for you,

No it's never gonna be that simple

No I cant spell it out for you



If you just realize what I just realized,

Then we'd be perfect for each other

And will never find another

Just realized what I just realized

We'd never have to wonder if

We missed out on each other now.



Take time to realize

Oh-oh I'm on your side

Didn't I, didn't I tell you.

Take time to realize

This all can pass you by.. Didn't I tell you



But I can't spell it out for you,

No its never gonna be that simple

No I can't spell it out for you.



If you just realized what I just realized

Then we'd be perfect for each other

And we'll never find another

Just realized what I just realized

We'd never have to wonder if

We missed out on each other but.



It's not always the same

No it's never the same

If you don't feel it to.

If you meet me half way

If you would meet me half way.

It could be the same for you.



If you just realized what I just realized

Then we'd be perfect for each other

And we'll never find another

Just realized what I just realized

We'd never have to wonder

Just realized what I just realized



Oh



Missed out on each other now

Missed out on each other now
