The One Year Miracle

The people clap,
The people cheer,
Oh my God,
It’s been a year!

I’ve had my doubts,
You have too,
I had my doubts
After a day or two.

Twelve months on,
And here we are,
Who would have thought?
That we’d come so far.

People have doubted us,
That much is true,
No one thought we’d last,
Even a month or two.

But here we are today,
And all though insults have been hurled,
I wouldn’t swap you, or this,
For the world.

Written in 2003 to celebrate a year with the same girl as previous. Young, in love, and celebrating what seemed a minor miracle.
