Time Spent With You
Time spent with you has been very happy times, some sad times.
Time spent with you has been the ride of a lifetime.
Time spent with you some is something money can't buy.
Time spent with you is like having a place to call home, and a friend that is always there when you need them.
Time spent with you has always been a special time for me; I look forward to the time we have, on this earth with each other.
Time spent with you has been times that memories were made.
Time spent with you has been some of the best times of my life.
Time spent with you has been time well spent. And thank you for the time I have spent with you.
