My Best Friend

I just heard My Best Friend by Tim McGraw on the radio and it reminded me of a time in my life where I was simply a romantic. I just knew back then that I would find my Prince Charming and live happily ever after. Jealousy, mistrust and emotional pain were foreign to me, while I daydreamed of my life with the man of my dreams, beautiful children and the white picket fence. While I still feel the white picket fence may be a little over the top, I'm working on regaining a bit of my naivete, a bit of my reckless abandon, so I can truly have a future filled with promise. The lyrics state exactly what I would love to find in my future mate and maybe, just maybe, one of these days I will... ;)

I never had no one I could count on. 
I've been let down so many times. 
I was tired of hurtin', so tired of searchin' till you walked into my life. 
It was a feeling I'd never known... 
And for the first time, I didn't feel alone.

You're more than a lover. There could never be another, to make me feel the way you do.
Oh we just get closer...I fall in love all over. Everytime I look at you.
I don't know where I'd be, without you here with me.
Life with you makes perfect sense. You're my best friend. 
You're my best friend, oh yeah.

You stand by me, and you believe in me... Like nobody ever has.
When my world goes crazy, you're right there to save me. You make me see how much I have.
And I still tremble, when we touch. And, oh the look in your eyes, when we make love.

You're more than a lover. There could never be another, to make me feel the way you do.
Oh we just get closer. I fall in love all over. Everytime I look at you.
And I don't know where I'd be, without you here with me. Life with you makes perfect sense.
You're my best friend. You're my best friend.

You're more than a lover. There could never be another, to make me feel the way you do.
Oh, we just get closer. I fall in love all over, everytime I look at you.
And I don't know where Id be, without you here with me. Life with you makes perfect sense.
You're my best friend. You're my best friend. You're my best friend.
