and what I know, I know for certain.

I don't quite know what day I met you,
But it had to October of that year,
since we danced at the Halloween dance together
after that weird drunk girl who nobody knew hit on you and freaked us both out. 

I do remember when I first learned you "liked" me
at the wrap party after the play we were in
My parents growled menacingly at my lateness the whole drive home
but I was on a cloud, in a cloud, I was a cloud, I was happy enough to shout.

I don't know what I used to do on date night
or what I used to watch before you showed me Doctor Who
or what got me out of bed in the morning
on days when it was sleeting or pouring sheets of rain

But My Love, I know I'll never want to be without you
not now, not tomorrow, not ever again.
