security was

i remember lying in bed

with you

next to you

after we had talked about love

and the rest of our lives

and time enough to learn

and hear

everything

there was to learn

and hear

the rest of our lives

and love

and you would fall asleep

and i would lie awake

the rest of our lives

and love

and when i finally began to believe in

the rest of our lives

and love

i felt so

secure

for the very first time

and so happy

for the very first time

and when i would lie there

in that happiness

and that security

that is when i knew

what

Fear

was

Fear was

the rest of our lives

and love

and either never knowing the end of that

or feeling it come to an end

that roller coaster moment of the first time ever will never come again

at least i had it once

is there still time enough to learn?

time enough to forget?

time enough to hear

i'm glad i loved you once

glad you loved me once

i remember lying next to you

was it really so long ago?
