Do you recall that first night? When our love was set alight.
Not those months before of open doors, scared to take the step.
The fall to me is what I feared, I had to catch my breath.
Everything was so in place, and all, right before my face.
You were never scared and always knew, what we had between the two.
How did you see, so clearly, the things…that always evaded me?
It’s scary now how they’ve changed,
and looking back I’m quite ashamed, mistakes I’ve made, and all the wrongs,
Even the stupid rap songs.
But now I know, it’s not the fall, I ever should have feared,
It was the flight, and every night, and all the love we did requite.
Because now it’s gone, left with memories this strong,
it’s hard to let them go.
But now I know, if I had feared, I never would have gotten here,
as close to Love as it was, I still believe there’s more for us.
So maybe I still fear the fall, but never fear the flight,
with endless nights and tiny fights,
Together we could soar.
