Our first day together
Was after we’d been close in dreams
Was after we’d shared hell and heaven
And all the places in-between
And all the places in-between

After we’d spent nights together
And breathed secrets without words
After we’d made promises
That could but might not have been heard
Might not have been heard

Knowing me the way you do
Then why did you just say
that our first day together
Was today?
