The First Time I Loved Forever

~ Lisa Angelie ~

Somewhere I have never travelled
Gladly beyond any experience
Your eyes have their silence
In your most frail gesture are things which enclosed me
Or which I can not touch, because they are too near

The first time I loved forever
Was when you whispered my name
And I knew at once you loved me
For the me of who I am

The first time I loved forever
I cast all else aside
And I bid my heart to follow
Be there no more need to hide

And if wishes and dreams
Are merely for children
And if love's a tale for fools
I'll live the dream with you

Or if you wish to be close to me
I and my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly
As when the heart of this flower imagines the snow
Carefully, everywhere descending

For all my life and forever
There's a truth that I'll always know
When my world divides and shatters
Your love is where I'll go

I do not know about you that open and closes,
Only something in me understands
The voice in your eyes is deeper than all the roses
Nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands.
