Day by day, you became
The reason I began to live
From anger to warmth, then compassion’s grace,
Your personality drove me wild; I couldn’t escape
First a stranger, then a friend, then a love so true,
You took over my life, my heart, my view
With each passing day, you drew near, step by step,
From girlfriend to heartthrob, to becoming the heart I kept
Your beauty, vast and filled with love’s light,
Unfolded from a name to my world, my sight
Day by day, you became
The reason I began to live
