So there was a first time?
Did you lie?
Are you making this up?
Did you really love him?
Oh so just good moments you say
Hmm

Amnesia hit you too soon baby don't you think

You say you don't remember love
When love embraced you
With all your flaws
And called you perfect

You say you don't remember love
When love came to see you
At 12am in the morning
You were leaving love behind

You say you don't remember love
When love stayed up nights
And walked you through days
When you'd remember hurt

You say you don't remember love
When love was all you had
When everything else left you
To cut your wrists in the bathroom

You say you don't remember love
When love came
To free you off Xanax pills
When that was all you ate

Yes baby love hurt you
And love almost killed you
Yes love was good moments
and love was bad times too

Love even ****** up
But that's what love is
That's who love is
Accept it
Embrace it
Live it

And stop lying to yourself

Love was there always
Even when you blocked love out
Even when you sent love away
Even when you told love to leave

Love was there then
And
Love is here
Now

The second time you say ?
Oh really

Love was your first kiss
Love was your first love
Love was hugs and kisses
Love was letters and journals
Love was long nights and no days
Love was happiness and hurt
Love was breakfast and lunch
Love was donuts and cookies
Love was T-shirts and jeans

And don't you dare
Oh baby don't you dare
Don't you disrespect love
Because love was nothing like him

This isn't 2013
And love isn't him
It never was him
Or if it was then you lied

This is 2015
Now say I'm stuck in time
But I didn't do half of what he did
Not one fourth of what I could

This is 2017
And I won't do anything
And I can't
Because love still loves you

Love still loves the **** out of you
And you label love as toxic
Because love was mostly far away
But never too much
Love didn't always have arms
But love always had a heart
Love always saw your beauty

The second time you say?

Well ****
First kisses don't happen 2 times

Moments you say ?

Well ****
You can't relive them without love

Open your eyes baby
See love
For love loves you
And you love him too
**** this
Call them mere memories or moments
But baby it was a lifetime
It was infinity
