A love that speaks our tongue

A love that speaks our tongue

I remember walking in the park
I remember dancing under stars in the dark 
I remember when we had our first kiss
I remember that you were the one I couldn't resist 

Sometimes in our lives
We meet the one too young
We don't get the deep significance 
Of a love that speaks our tongue 

Sometimes in our world
The foundation shifts and changes 
We don't even comprehend that 
Our heart's freedom is in danger 

Entwined from the very start
You held my gaze
It wasn't just your beauty 
But the light in your face 

So much shared emotion
With just one look 
We knew it was forever 
Written in Fate's Book

To understand each other deeply
Beyond the limitations of space and time 
I remember that cherished moment
When you agreed to be mine

But nothing lasts forever 
Even time has to die 
I just thought we'd have this lifetime 
To share our perfect rhymes

Sometimes in our lives
We meet the one too young
We don't get the deep significance 
Of a love that speaks our tongue 

Sometimes in our world
The foundation shifts and changes 
We don't even comprehend that 
Our heart's freedom is in danger 

I wish I never had to say
That you were the one
The one that got away
Because we were young 

But when the truth is told 
The reality of it is
We lost each other's hearts 
When we became jaded

Listening to the haters 
The liars and the cheats 
We allowed our hearts to harden
Forgetting our love was sweet 

And now that we're older
We can look back with the bittersweet
Realising it was never really over
Just locked away true feelings

Sometimes in our lives
We meet the one too young
We don't get the deep significance 
Of a love that speaks our tongue 

Sometimes in our world
The foundation shifts and changes 
We don't even comprehend that 
Our heart's freedom is in danger 

Sometimes in our lives
We meet the one too young
We don't get the deep significance 
Of a love that speaks our tongue 

Sometimes in our world
The foundation shifts and changes 
We don't even comprehend that 
Our heart's freedom is in danger
