Thirty Years of Love

Lyrics

Do you remember
The day we met
My hair Wet With summer rain
And clothes Soaked through
I sat, alone
Shy Unknown
And then I saw you
As beautiful in youth
As you ate today
Sitting in a booth
By the window
Preparing to play Some card game with a friend
Your black t-shirt
Over Long sleeves Of blackest fishnet
Your raven curls
So elegant in their punk-light fashion
As beautiful in youth As you are today
With your smile
Warmed by the fire in the hearth of your heart
You asked me to join you
That smile
That sweet sweet smile
So sacred
So Holy
So pure
My soul began to sing
For your smile was its song
A song of longing belonging
Of love and home
I knew
In that precious moment I knew
I knew that to you I belonged
My other self
My better self Would forevermore be bound to your destiny
I could not become the man I'm meant to be
Not without you
Smiling
Standing next to me
Now
Though my vision fades
Mine eyes see not the years
No lines of age
Nor white beard
These eyes of mine
See not the thirty years
That passed between
Today
And the day we met
When I was sixteen
And you
As beautiful now as you were in youth when you were seventeen
