When you see the gleam in her eyes for the first time
The charm in her voice
The grace of her smile
When you see how she moves and whispers
You are captivated
When you see the kindness she shows to people you usually don’t
Or how she thinks of others to the point of losing herself
The love she gives to the world
And her desire to live and nurture
You are captivated
When you hear her say “I do” the moment she gave herself to you
The beginning of forever
The start of a journey
When you hold her in your arms as if it was for the first time
You are captivated
When you see her go through agony as she bears your firstborn child
The new life in your arms
And the way she looks at him
When you realize that her love is beyond this life
You are captivated
When you see everyday as something to really live for
That girl beside you
The girl you love
When you realize that she’s worth it all
You are captivated
When I look back to the irreversible past
And realize all the wrong and right things in my life
You’re the best part
And now I see the present and I tell myself
You are captivating
When I recall all the vows, all the promises – broken or not
One thing stands out
And that’s you
As long as you’re with me, nothing else really matters
You have captivated me
These things I write out to the world
To the young men
And to the old
These things have told me about her
And when it’s your turn to listen
And these things are told to you
Then you’ll know she’s the one
