Last time we talked, the night that I walked / Burns like an iron in the back of my mind
I was a kid…and a coward. I loved you then but didn’t think I was ready. I still had my whole life ahead of me. Thought there’d be more to life.
I must’ve been high to say you and I / Weren’t meant to be and just wastin’ my time
When I left, I didn’t realize what a HUGE mistake it would be. There was nothing more – I realize that now. Should’ve seen it then.
Oh, why did I ever doubt you? / You know I would die here without you
Seeing you again, thirteen years later, I see that this is where I belong. With you. Right where I was supposed to be all along. We talked, we laughed…and fell back in love.
All that I’m after is a life full of laughter / As long as I’m laughin’ with you
I spent those years searching for something – anything – that came close to the good times we shared. Time after time, disappointment after disappointment…I thought of you.
I’m thinkin’ that all that still matters is love ever after / After the life we’ve been through
You were the one I loved. Then…and now.
Cause I know there’s no life after you
Mistakes were made, absolutions given, and there’s no one else – never was – that could fill your shoes.
Know there’s no life after you
I love you, honey. Then. Now. And always.
I wrote this post for Mama Kat’s Writers Workshop in response to Prompt #5: A song with significance. I wrote this post for my husband…I think about him every time I hear this song. (All That I’m After, by Daughtry)
Does your blog have a contact page? I’m having trouble locating it but, I’d like to send you an email. I’ve got some recommendations for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great site and I look forward to seeing it develop over time.
Yep – sure does! Right at the top of the page. You can send me an email at thoughtsfromher@hotmail.com. Thanks!
I really love how you went thru the song and life line by line. It’s so cool to hear how YOUR story lines up with the music! Thanks for sharing!

Oh my gosh…thanks for stopping by my site! So funny – I wrote a post mentioning your blog: http://www.thoughtsfromher.com/2011/03/super-stylish-yo/
So glad you visited!!! (I’m gushing like a school girl – a REAL LIVE blogger I like commented on MY site. That is awesome!!!)
This is so amazing! Isn’t it amazing how everything works out?!
I was dating someone for 2 years & was NOT interested in making things more serious with him. I met my future husband & we dated three months then got engaged & were married 6 months after that…amazing how things just work out the way they are supposed to.
Honestly I look at him and still can’t believe it sometimes. Talk about perfect timing. I knew then that he and I were meant to be but was, you know…just a teenager. I am so happy things worked out the day they did. I had some growing up to do.
I love how you went through the song line by line!

Hi! Stopping by from MBC. Great blog.
Have a nice day!
Now thats the kind of ending I like, the happy sort! Great song by the way!
Thanks so much! It’s been a long road, but we’ve finally made it.
Great post using the song and then adding your own words. A sweet dedication to your husband and I hope he reads it.
He has…and loves it. Thanks!
What a beautiful tribute to your husband!
Thank You!!!
That was very sweet – maybe you let him go once because you weren’t ready to appreciate him, nor he, you.
Things typically work out as they should.
Glad your ending was a happy one.
You’re exactly right…we were so young and definitely not ready. Thanks for the comment.
Oh, that’s so beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
