I met a girl when I was young,

And I knew she would be the one.

But fate wasn't quite ready.

We had some summers to learn and let life teach us, away from one another.

Make no mistake, fate didn't let us stay, but didn't quite always keep us away from one another.

Today, I took a drive down memory lane and looked in all the yards where I used to stay; it gave me a feeling.

It's like those butterflies that make me want to cry, and I can't replicate the feeling.

All those years I've lain in beds away, under the atmosphere that holds us here, away from one another.

Don't take it wrong, I've only loved along the way.

But when I found myself alone, it comes back to the girl I met when I was young and knew was the one, and fate finally has its way.

Tonight, I lie below some clouds in an atmosphere that holds her and me here in this bed together.

Life is clear and purpose is here, loving the girl from the start.
