Right Before the First Time

For five years I’ve had my goal To find someone and make us both whole But all that I saw came crumbling down Just a boy from some suburban town Now dreams become real, my goal lays before me Nervousness threatens to take me Like an injury holding me back from life Severed from my past with my holy knife Life’s moving fast and I wonder Will my past self die? Or is it gone and will my soul Ascend into the sky? Sixteen years and all these dreams are coming true All these legends spoken with conclusions that we drew The state of purity is vanishing tonight These two lovers know what is right. And I know it’s right.
