Young love is honed so sharp That the blade can snap, embedded in your heart And when you move you feel the ache Though the face that caused it fades But old love grows so long That the part above the ground has less effect And time can wither tender shoots But leaves those roots secure and strong But the best love has no time No forwards, backwards, but only now Its strong arms hold you when you walk And if you fall, you're always caught Though I know this to be true Yet I still believe I love you the best The way that you turn your head It twists my heart so tight it hurts
