Written in Our Hands

We didn't rush, we took our time Learned every line of each other's rhyme You weren't just love, you were the plan A quiet dream held in my hand We spoke in glances, built with care Shared every silence like a prayer There was no map, but still we knew The road would lead me back to you And now we stand, no need for grand commands The vows were always written in our hands In every touch, we signed our fate In every moment we chose to wait No need for ink, or golden bands Our love was always written in our hands You knew my fears, didn't turn away Just stayed and loved the cracks in gray You didn't promise skies of blue You showed me storms we'd walk right through And slowly, surely, thread by thread We stitched a life with words unsaid And now we stand, no speeches or demands The vows were always written in our hands A steady grace, a simple truth A love that's grown since days of youth No grand display, no marching band Just love that's always lived within our hands When we are old, and steps grow small And memories flicker down the hall We'll reach across that final span And still find love… written in our hands So take this ring, take all I am But know you had me long before we planned For every page, in life's romance Was written, love, within our hands
