One And Only Love

I was young
He was old
We both were the same age
Every day
Playing fetch
Shaking hands, he'd lick my face
And I was unaware
the day would come
And when he died
for the first time I knew
What real pain was
And I never was the same again
From that moment on real life began
Senior high
Girlfriends
Football games, graduation
Summer break
Spend my time
Filling out applications
A few superficial years went by
they were all a blur
And in the most unlikely situation
there you were
Yeah
And I never was the same again
From that moment on real life began
with you
with you
By your side
Scared to death
Felt the pain
you were fighting
placed my palm on your head
spoke your name
