For The First Time

Minutes are running slow
Seconds feel more like days
Days since I let you go
That’s how it feels anyway

Sometimes I forget
Love’s a different language
Known by the heart

A foreign tongue
I’m hearing for the first time
A promise made
I’m meaning for the first time

Old friends like solitude
Quiet and empty space
Are enemies since finding you
Just loneliness by other names

Sometimes I forget
Love’s a different language
Spoken by the heart

A foreign tongue
I’m hearing for the first time
A promise made
I’m meaning for the first time

Sometimes I forget
Love’s a different language
Spoken by the heart

A foreign tongue
I’m hearing for the first time
A promise made
I’m meaning for the first time

A masquerade
I’m shedding for the first time
A heart I’ve saved
And given for the first time
