I wrote this song about what I thought would be my first serious love affair. I never got to play it for her, though, because it wouldn't be that long before she gave her heart to someone else. Unbeknownst to me, even as she and I had been growing close, he had been working hard to win it.

That's one of the reasons I've left it alone since trying it out in the fall of 𝟏𝟗𝟗𝟕. Another is that I was under the somewhat unfortunate influence of 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐠𝐨'𝐬 catchy-but-treacly "Will You Still Love Me," one of the songs this girl had shared with me during our romantic phase. I kept going up at the end of certain lines, as 𝐉𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐟𝐟 did on several lines from that song (e.g. "Take me as I a-am"). I was aware of it happening and it irritated me, but I couldn't stop myself. An earworm in action, let's say. And now this is the way it has to be.

That said, I was quite sincere about the song, and though the lyric isn't anything to shout about, it was heartfelt and naïvely hopeful. On balance, I feel it would be a shame to throw it away. Some new words from a slightly wiser man might bring it up a notch as well.

We met some time ago
never knowing what was there
Then we came to know
and to realize we cared
in a way we never had before

You were cautious then
but I sensed that you were strong
I remember when
I told you how I longed
in a way I never had before

Whatever the future brings I know this for sure
I'm in love with this moment
Baby
I look at tomorrow like never before
and hear the message that your heart sent

Now we've come so far
there's no turning back, I know
In your eyes are stars
and they've just begun to glow
in a way they never have before

Whatever the future brings I know this for sure
I'm in love with this moment
Baby
I look at tomorrow like never before
and hear the message that your heart sent
and hear the message that your heart sent
