I initially made an acoustic sketch of this song and posted it on the forum hoping that someone might wish to produce it further. Since no one came forward, I decided to devote a little more attention to this song. What started out as a very basic demo became a huge, extravagant string based production and I very much enjoyed the process of adding further production. I think it really captures emotion and at times drives along with real purpose. Maybe one day I'll revisit the end section with backing vocals and electric guitar. Still, I'm really happy with the way this has turned out.

I was the first one you noticed
amongst all other guys.
You looked in my direction
through those beautiful eyes.
I won't forget the journey to the graveyard
so we could learn to live, learn to love again.
When we first declared that we would both be lovers
in the rain.
Then we drove through the darkness
with your hand on my hand.
We were lost in the moment.
I was yours to command.
I won't forget the way I ran towards you
or the love you brought to brighten up the night.
For the first time, I was looking in a mirror.
It was right.
In time you will see, you mean everything to me.
The pain of yesterday will leave.
The pain of yesterday will leave.
The pain of yesterday will leave.
The pain of yesterday will leave.
