A Thousand Years Lyrics

Reminds me of my relationship.

My relationship began online 9 years ago. He lived halfway across the world, and for many years, it was impossible for him to move here to be with me. We carried on an online romance for 6 years before he finally came here so we could be together. It's been three years since then, and today we live together and love each other more than ever.

So, I can take almost all of this song literally. "I have died every day waiting for you." I waited, and waited, for six years to meet the love of my life, with a lot of judgment and disapproval from the people around me...it was incredibly difficult, but I knew what I wanted. There was no one else. Never anyone else, for either of us. Sounds hard to believe, I know, and I can't explain why other than that we just KNEW, somehow, that we were meant for each other. "All along, I believed I would find you." I did. He did, too. We always knew we would be together someday, whenever it was feasible.

"Time has brought your heart to me." It really did. After all that waiting, the time was worth it. Every day, every month, every year. Worth everything for what I have now. Anyway, that's my sentiment take on this song. It's beautiful.

Memory
