i believe

i remember once upon a time 
i thought love was something you had to hold onto 
working, pleading, grasping 
praying that the day you couldn't hold on anymore
wasn't tomorrow or next week but maybe next month 

i remember once upon a time
i believed making love was when it didn't hurt 
crossing my fingers and thinking of england 
praying that it will end before the pain starts 
to seep from my heart into my body 

i remember when i saw you smile 
that first time in that perfect place
my insides were torn up from trying to hold onto
something that couldn't be held but that moment
i let it all fall to the floor 

i remember when i first kissed your mouth
my world flipped upside down and i knew 
that making love had nothing to do with sex 
and that love wasn't something to be held 
but something that holds onto you all by itself

i believe in miracles and i believe in you 
the pain in my heart that i was so used to 
has disappeared as surely as my thoughts of england
have drifted away from my mind 
when i kiss your mouth, i believe
