It started with him opening the door

But personally I thought it was something more

She smiled, ‘Thanks’, as he let her in

To the flower shop, he smiled within.

She worked there for the rest of the day

Bought nothin he did but yet he stayed

February rolled around, Valentines

He took her to dinner, asked, ‘Will you be mine?’

Dating four years in love with each other

Making kind gestures to one another

He washed his car for their date

She was always on time, never late

They hugged when they saw one another

He treated her like no other

She made him cupcakes that didn’t work out

He didn’t mind ‘cause it’s the thought that counts

He hung up her coat when they went to a diner

Told her her new earrings made her look ever finer

She gave him a watch for his birthday

He told her he’d lost it a month before the day

They got married and had kids

He did the dishes when she needed cups and a lid

She made him cookies after a tough day at the office

Unlike the cupcakes, they turned out flawless

They told each other ‘I love you’ every night

They always worked things out after a fight

And there’s no such thing as a perfect couple

But I’d say they got there on the double.
