You were the first dark step I took then
Knowing your help was as dangerous as your hurt
I wanted to discover you beneath the covers
Where our bodies could blend into perfume
And we could sleep in each other’s dreams

Time has a way of making me forget it all
The walks, the laughter, and the sorrow

My second step was in forgiving you
The mangled mess you made of my heart
The spilled blood, the smell of burned coffee
The stains of which are tattooed across my eyes
I see everything through it now, I can’t help it

Time has a way of making me forget it all
The walks, the laughter, and the sorrow

As we approach the third step of our making
The three heartbeats we created together
Like water melting in the sun we too must go
Let's remember from where we have traveled
And say...It was worth every step of the way
