I remember the night we first meet
how time stood still
with you standing before me
how the whole world went silent
except for the song of your voice
I can't remember what I said
wether I stuttered the word "hi"
or just mouthed "hello"
or just stood their with a stupid
goofy smile on my face
and that smile became yours
and only yours
I had never known that happiness
could feel that good
then as life so often goes
and happiness so often ends
you where gone
dissappeared
with the autumn of the leaves
now a life of seasons
have lived and passed
through the marrow of my bones
and here you are standing
holding down the hands on the clock
the years between us fade away
and in all the white noise
all I can hear is you
and I smile I have not worn
since the last time
you left eternity on my lips
finds my face
in all its goofy stupid glory
and even when I'm not
that smile is still yours
always
and only yours
