* When we were young
The lack of experience made us naïve
So willing we are to hope and believe
To love so much your heart may break
Be consumed by the give and the take
Holding tight because it just felt right
Through troubles you’d always be alright
Feeling with your heart not your head
Sharing each other nothing left unsaid
Never seeing past your own forever
Wrapped up something you couldn’t sever
Feeling it wasn’t possible to give more
Yet offering everything out it would pore
Belonging to inside jokes just between two
Reinforcing feelings you both felt you knew
The tangle of limbs made in a late night hug
To unknowing youth, love the perfect drug
* Now we are grown
Having had time to make us both doubt
We don’t know what it’s all about
Time moves and hearts become hard
Chances we’re more prone to discard
The inevitable fact life gets in the way
Letting things we wanted get away
The effort of healing from past trials
You just have to cover up with fake smiles
Scenes from the past cloud your eyes
Colours emotions the start of a personal demise
Beginning to judge people from past events
Still working on getting out the emotional dents
But what is left if we don’t dare to hope?
To drift down that regretful lonely slope
What is left if we close ourselves off to chance?
Maybe its not wise to judge a situation at first glance
