I thought I'd been in love before
I thought I knew how things worked
I thought that being in a relationship wasn't for me
I thought I'd never want to get married or settle down
I thought love at first sight was a myth
I thought love songs were overrated
I thought romance movies were just silly fairy tales
I thought I had everything figured out
And then I met her
When she walked into the room, I understood why people think angels exist
When she told me her name, I understood how you could fall in love with a voice
On our first date, I understood why people in movies would give up anything for love
After our first kiss, I understood what every love song was talking about
After our first fight, I finally understood heartbreak
On our anniversary, I understood wanting to spend the rest of your life with someone
And on our wedding day, I finally understood why people can't live without love
I thought I knew so many things
But now I understand
Love isn't a grand gesture or a sacrifice
It's the way she tucks her hair behind her ear
It's the look she gives me when I hold her close
It's the feeling I get when we're apart
But even more the feeling when we're finally back together
She came crashing into my life and changed everything I thought I knew about love
And I wouldn't change a thing
Because now I understand
That life is about love
And she is my life
