“You’ve Captured My Heart.”

You’ve captured my heart. I don’t know what to say. I didn’t expect it to happen this way.
Your smile touches me in such a way.
I long for your company, spending time together; being your friend & being there for you.
Now as time passes, I hope you’ll feel about me like I feel about you.
Oh, yes, I hope. (pause) You’ve captured my heart.

You frightened me this summer, when you asked me if I loved you.
I was scared of the truth and tried everything I could think of to push you away from me.
Hiding behind my age, job & whatever else came to mind at that moment.
The hardest thing I had to endure was seeing you with another. I died that day.
I must make amends for my weakness, my lack of faith and trust.
Now sometime has past & I hope you’ll feel about me like I feel about you.
Oh, yes, I hope. (pause) You’ve captured my heart.

Now much time has passed. My feelings remain unspoken, buried deep within my chest.
I have long enjoyed your company. The times spent together, being your friend & being there for you.
Over time, you’ve brought much joy into my life. Your charm, thoughtfulness & the warmth of your smile.
I must convey what my heart wishes to say. You’re the one I want in my life.
I hope you feel about me like I feel about you. Lord, please give me the strength I need today.
Oh, yes (pause) I hope. (pause) You’ve captured my heart.

As fate would have it, this blessed day has come. To offer her my hand in the hope that she would lend me her strength, to be as one.
I have taken my time, denied myself my dreams, and sacrificed my inner-self for reasons that are still unclear.
I have come down this long road, realized my life was without the meaning a woman’s love would provide.
You are the one, you are my life, and, please, Lord, grant me one wish that she’d consent to being my wife.
Oh, yes, I hope. . . . You’ve captured my heart.
