Letter to Laura

First love

We are only seventeen

Not grown up yet

I’ll write you when the music plays

Somewhere along the way you kind of caught me by surprise

No one ever told me about same gender butterflies

Now it’s you that keeps me from thinking straight

But to see you move away was such a heavy weight

First love

We are only seventeen, not grown up yet

I’ll write you when the music plays

Just ‘cause you are gone doesn’t mean I will forget

I’ll write you when the music plays

(Music plays)

All that I have left is this music box that still plays our tune

Afternoons

Do you recall them, too?

When no one watched you put your hand in mine

We somehow knew we’d crossed a secret line

We could have made this world a better place

It’s okay to fall in love with the one you fall in love with
