Letter to Laura

First love
We are only seventeen
Not grown up yet
I’ll write you when the music plays

Somewhere along the way you kind of caught me by surprise
No one ever told me about same gender butterflies
Now it’s you that keeps me from thinking straight
But to see you move away was such a heavy weight

First love
We are only seventeen, not grown up yet
I’ll write you when the music plays
Just ‘cause you are gone doesn’t mean I will forget
I’ll write you when the music plays
(Music plays)

All that I have left is this music box that still plays our tune
Afternoons
Do you recall them, too?
When no one watched you put your hand in mine
We somehow knew we’d crossed a secret line
We could have made this world a better place
It’s okay to fall in love with the one you fall in love with
