Nathan

It started with a friend request across a little screen

Just talking through the days and nights and everything between

It only took a month before you put the car in drive

From San Antonio down to Mission, Texas, you arrived

Standing face to face that day, I saw my destiny

I knew you were my soulmate, and my forever meant to be

Nathan, you are everything I needed in a man

Beautiful and funny, you're the one who understands

Seven years and counting, I am yours unconditionally

My protector and my safe place, that is what you are to me

I will wait as long as it takes until you are released

Nathan, you will always and forever be my peace

I still feel your breath when you whispered in my ear

"I love you, stay with me," the sweetest words to hear

And I hold onto the afternoon you sat and talked with Mom

A few months before she passed, you were so steady and calm

You showed me all your loving heart, you gave her that respect

That is a special memory that I will always protect

Nathan, you are everything I needed in a man

Beautiful and funny, you're the one who understands

Seven years and counting, I am yours unconditionally

My protector and my safe place, that is what you are to me

I will wait as long as it takes until you are released

Nathan, you will always and forever be my peace

I know the miles and walls right now are keeping us apart

I miss you, you are on my mind and locked inside my heart

I thank God that He put you in my life to hold my hand

I'll wait until you're in my arms, my fiancé, my man

Nathan, you are everything I needed in a man

Strong and intelligent, you're the one who understands

Seven years and counting, I am yours unconditionally

My protector and my safe place, that is what you are to me

I will wait as long as it takes until you are released

I love you, Nathan, you will always and forever be my peace
