It must have been the way you talked

Or gazed afar

The minute you met me, time stopped

I let you carry my bags, and then you carried it all for life


Italy in my blue shirt,

Green grass, white skies

and new firsts

I fell first


I danced for you, then danced with you

I could go on all night

It felt so right

Talking, then tongue-tied


Starry night, staring at dark grey skies

The stakes were high but you were mine

I wish I could hold you and say it would all be fine

But I knew quite well, that it was time


Grab me, shake me, hurt me, curse me

if I messed you up

Days and nights, and time went by

But no amount of time would be enough


I need to leave, need you to cover for me

I know cuts hurt, the knives in my heart hurt worse

You're young, so young and full of love

It kills me that I need to give it up


It's easy for you but complicated for me

You ask me to stay, eyes drowning in pain

But you'll soon see

And we might meet someday again

And we'll talk about the good old days


Now, I live a new life

New place, new shoes, a new wife

And somewhere, I know you're living yours

Free and happily, not painfully confined

I always think about you, I always will

I won't ever forget that summer,

When you called me your name

and I called you by mine
