If I totaled my emotions like a car crash on the five Would you be the one to save me While the others just drive by? If I called you early morning cryin' like somebody died Would you be there in an instant? Would you run right to my side?

No, I'd never ever do that, no No, I'd never ever put the two of us in that position Yeah, it's merely an experiment of thought Yeah, a bunch of silly talk around the counter in the kitchen But I need to know it's real That if I go off the deep end I won't be an imposition No, I'd never ever do that, no But hypothetically, would you be there for me? Would you be there for me?

If I say something I shouldn't, put an arrow through your chest If I hit you where it hurts Would you say it's only words? And if I slip into a darkness, something seasonal at first But it lasts a little longer Will you love me through my worst?

No, I'll try to never ever do that, no No, I'll try to never put the two of us in that position Yeah, it's merely an experiment of thought Yeah, a bunch of silly talk around the counter in the kitchen But I need to know it's real That if I go off the deep end I won't be an imposition No, I'd never ever do that, no But hypothetically, would you be there for me? Would you be there for me? Would you be there for me?

If you truly cherish him, make sure he always knows

Give voice to the fullness in your heart as it grows

Tell him he's the brilliant light that illuminates your days,

And the moon in the sky guiding as you navigate life's maze

💕

If you truly cherish him, always hold him dear

Place your healing hands upon him, abate his fear

Let your touch convey the warmth of your heart

The depths of which you want him never to part

💕

If you truly cherish him, tell him with a look

Show him who you truly are, let him read you like a book

Open your heart and speak it clearly

Tell him he's important and always hold him dearly

💕

If you truly cherish him, love him loudly

Never let him doubt his place, show your love for him proudly

Tell him that he sparks your heart with his beautiful mind and soul

Hold his heart gently as he makes you feel whole

💕

If you truly cherish him, give yourself to him completely

Let your passion fill his sense so deeply

The beat of your heart pounds out his name

Calling him home to your love, untamed

💕

Hello 45, indeed! If you had asked me 10 years ago what I thought my life would look like on my 45th birthday, it certainly wouldn't be this! BUT, I have so much to be thankful for. Two amazing kids who are turning out to be awesome humans and I'm so incredibly proud of them. A beautiful extended family who love me unconditionally. Friends who are supportive and always there for me. A job (two actually) that allows me to provide for myself and my kids. And some very cool online friends/acquaintances that show me I'm not alone in the struggles of life and that even practical strangers can care for and encourage each other.
