Although we met when I was young,
I still remember it so clear.
The first time you turned and spoke to me,
Your words I still can hear.
I got butterflies in my stomach,
Everytime I spoke your name,
And chills ran down my spine,
With only my heart I could blame.
I knew you were a long shot,
Someone I could never get.
Until the day you asked me out,
The day I'll never forget.
It was my 15th birthday,
You came over with a rose.
It was the best present ever.
I still have it you know.
We hung out every weekend,
What great times we had.
And we never got in trouble,
For all our decisions were bad.
A few short months had passed,
You had broken my heart in two.
It just wasn't working out,
And I think that we both knew.
I was coping pretty well,
Never thought we'd ever speak.
Until one day you called me,
And I instantly turned weak.
Things had gone back to the way
They were when we were still a pair.
But again it didn't last too long,
Again my heart was bare.
You called a few months later,
Just to casually say hello.
Then you asked me to hang out,
Although I was hesitant, I didn't say no.
I figured it would be O.K,
"I'll meet you at 8," you said.
"Alright, but I have a boyfriend,
And if he finds out, I'm dead."
The night was a lot of fun,
And I figured we'd stay good friends.
Until we got up to leave,
And I didn't want the night to end.
You had told me how you felt,
And my feelings were the same.
I just couldn't believe this was happening.
I was finally back in the game.
But this time our love was much different,
with no way to explain how we feel.
It couldn't have been any more perfect.
This time our love was for real.
You'd always give me massages,
And kiss me from head to toe.
You'd tickle me ever so slightly,
Until millions of goosebumps would show.
You'd wrap me so tight in your arms,
And whisper quietly into my ear,
"I love you more than anything,
And I promise I'll always be here."
There was nothing that I wanted more,
Than to be with you for the rest of my life.
Nothing was going to come in between us.
Nothing could stop me from one day becoming your wife.
You made everything in my life seem worth it,
When my spirit had gotton so low.
You made me the happiest girl in the world,
And I was certain I'd never let go.
Then one night, you started to cry,
And soon after, I did too.
For you had told me we can't be together,
And there was nothing I could do.
There's no way to define the pain,
That I felt when you told me goodbye.
All my dreams had instantly shattered,
I just wanted to curl up and die.
You told me that you still loved me,
But your friends were feeling left out.
You wanted to have fun while you can,
"'Cause that's what being young's all about."
I couldn't bear to hear it,
I wanted to run away.
You just held me and said that you're sorry,
But I had nothing left to say.
I just wish you'd understand,
Love like this is hard to find.
I'll never be with anyone else,
And I'll never change my mind.
No matter what happens in the future,
Whether this is the end or only the start.
You'll always be my love...
My soul, my strength, and my heart.
