Vincent

August the seventh, two-thousand-fifteen

A bonfire, some drinks, we were just twenty-three

We thought that we had this whole life figured out

Didn't know what the future was really about

We didn't make it that very first try

But I found my best friend as the years hurried by

We ran to each other when life took a toll

You were the comfort that quieted my soul

Through eleven long years of the highs and the lows

Picking each other up everywhere that we go

Sometimes we're oil and water, I know

But eleven years down, with a million to go

You're the rock that I lean on, my protector, my friend

I know that you'll be right here till the end

Vincent, I'm yours, and I'll always be

Thank you for always choosing me

You're a simple man, happy with the little things

A hardworking provider for the joy that it brings

The best dog dad to our pups running round

When you're with my niece, so much love can be found

You healed up the trauma that you never caused

You give unconditional love without pause

You help me be better as our story unfurls

You make me feel like the only girl in the world

Through eleven long years of the highs and the lows

Picking each other up everywhere that we go

Sometimes we're oil and water, I know

But eleven years down, with a million to go

You're the rock that I lean on, my protector, my friend

I know that you'll be right here till the end

Vincent, I'm yours, and I'll always be

Thank you for always choosing me

I've given you reasons to just walk away

But you showed your strength when you decided to stay

Some might say it's toxic, but I know the truth

It's a beautiful love story, just me and you

If I'm being honest, like the country songs say

My first and your last name sound better that way

Through eleven long years of the highs and the lows

Picking each other up everywhere that we go

Sometimes we're oil and water, I know

But eleven years down, with a million to go

You're the rock that I lean on, my protector, my friend

I know that you'll be right here till the end

Vincent, I'm yours, and I'll always be

Thank you for always choosing me

Yeah, eleven years down, and a million to go

I love you forever, I just need you to know
