The First Few Minutes

not that long ago, when we first met
I knew it was day, I would not forget
all the planets aligned
chills rushed down my spine
and that was only the first few minutes

you had me dreaming out loud
floating like a cloud
running on the beach
hugging every tree
you had me driving a smooth road
thought I would explode
the sun was shining down on me
everything was as it should be
and that was only the first few minutes

time has a way of turning things around
it doesn't always end, the way it starts out
you live the highs and lows, rock to and fro
around and around it all goes
and if you're lucky, you can feel it as it grows
