The Only Exception...

Young, free, and in love

I am young and I am free,
There are many things I could be
But I chose to be in love.
In love with the sky,
In love with the wind,
In love with a face,
In love with a kiss.
I chose to be in love.
And as I walk the streets
Of the things that are,
The things that have been
And the things that soon will to be,
I see all the things I could have.
To have work
To have play,
To have kids
To have romance,
To have my own place,
But I choose to have love.
I choose to love and give it freely,
I choose to love the world completely.

I am young and I am free,
There are many ways to be loving,
But I choose to hide it away.
I kept my heart off my sleeve,
I kept my lips unkissed.
I kept emotions to myself,
I never let myself admit.

I am young and I am free,
There are many things I could be,
But I choose to be in love with you.
In love with your smile,
In love with your face,
In love with your style,
In love with your ways,
In love with all the little things you do,
The way you talk, the way you move,
I choose to love you more than I should,
And to love you more than I thought I could,
I choose to be in love with you.

I am young and I am free,
I choose to give my heart to thee.
There are futures of which I could dream,
But I chose to dream of a future I love.
One with a gown,
One with a tux.
One with a ring
One with all that we want.
A future of hugs,
Of laughter and love,
With a dog named red,
And a flatscreen in the den.
One where I can kiss you as much as I please,
I dream of a future that has all of these things.
I could worry bout have a future without you,
But I let go of my worries
And lift my face to the sky,
I'll shout to the heavens,
And thank God for this life
I'll roll the dice,
And I'll take a risk,
Because I choose to dream of a future I love,
And a future with the one I love in it.
