When I was a young girl
I fell in love for the first time.
It started out as a hate
But slowly grew into something more.

When I was a teenager
My love was the only thing there for me.
It was my solace
But was slowly turned against me.

When I was in my late teens
My love left me for the first time.
It was on again and off again
But then it completely disappeared.

When I was a young girl
I fell in love for the first time.
But it wasn’t with a person
It was with words.

When I was a teenager
My love was the only thing there for me.
My friends left and I was alone
But I always had my words.

When I was in my late teens
My love left me for the first time.
The depression got me
It stole my words from me.

A few days ago
I fell in love again.
My words found a way back to me
And the pages flew beneath my fingertips.

A few days ago
I fell in love again.
There was a light in the darkness
And it ripped its way forth
Reminding me of what we once had.

When I was a young girl
I fell in love for the first time.
A few days ago
I fell in love again.

It started out as a hate
But slowly grew into something more.
My words found a way back to me
And the pages flew beneath my fingertips.
