Thirteen

We've been in the rain
We've been on the mountain
We've been 'round the fireIn fancy hotels
Drank water from farm wells
We sang with the choirI kissed your dry lips
We jumped off the high cliffs
And splashed down belowSkin to skin
In the salty river
Made love in the shadowsRead books to each other
Read the mind of the other
Flew one thousand jetsWe laughed and we cried
At movies and real life
And our ridiculous betsWe danced in the moonlight at midnight
We pressed against back doors and wood floors
And you never faked itAnd frequently
We ignored our love
But we could never mistake itWe met on the front porch
Fell in love on the phone
Without the physical wreckYou gave me the necklace
That used to hang
Around your mothers neckWe questioned religions
Gave bread to the pigeons
We learned how to prayWe stood by the ocean
Turned our hearts into one
We laid in bed all dayWe skipped on the sidewalk
Skipped stones on the water
We skipped townWe seen the sunrise with new eyes
We seen the damage of gossip and true lies
We've seen the sun go downHad passionate makeouts
With passionate freakouts
We built this world of our ownIt was in the back of a taxi
When you told me you loved me
And that I wasn't alone
