Remember When?

Remember when I first drew you to me?
Somehow you thought that I could set you free.
You were intrigued, I was in fear, and you gave me your ear.
Remember when?

Remember when we talked the hours away?
Sharing ideas, whatever we needed to say.
You showed me thought. You showed me soul. You tried to fill the hole.
Remember when?

Remember when you held me in the night?
You felt my heart and said that it would be alright.
I faced the fears, you faced the dirt. You shouldered all my hurt.
Remember when?

Remember when we delved too fast and deep?
I was naive, and you were something sweet,
Your courage jarred. I fell down hard and lay beaten and scarred.
Remember when?

Remember when 21 was way too young?
A brilliant mind. A broken heart, a setting sun.
We learned to love, we learned to trust. Now it's crumbled to dust.
Remember when?

Now I remember when I would've never said a word.
I close my eyes and I think back on what occured.
Of where we are. Of where we've been. I'd do it all over again.
Remember when?
