From the moment that I met you,
I knew without a doubt.
That deep inside I loved you,
A love I could not be without.
It was only for a moment
no friends to interfere
out to get your camera
as we stood so close so near.
I got into the car
and as you walked away,
I wished within that moment
we would meet again someday.
But my life was kind of crazy
so I up and left, I went.
Stayed upon a mountain top
until my soul was sent.
Alone now on my journey
facing fears along the way,
knowing every moment
I could be killed for being gay.
So I kept that mostly secret,
even hidden from myself.
As I walked across America
on an American walkabout.
Knowing the strength of spirit
I walked across this land.
Trying to build a future,
trying to lend a hand.
Finally California, San Francisco, USA
got to touch the ocean
when my soul
began to say.
Hate to interrupt your plans
but home you have to go.
You have unfinished business there,
Hurry! Its time to go.
So I jumped aboard a plane.
Three hours maybe more.
Back to where I started,
A few short months before.
At first I felt so welcomed,
then chaos persevered.
the life I knew had left me,
but soon it would become more clear.
I got a new apartment,
first time to live alone.
Finally no more drama
A place to call my own.
Then I met you in the driveway
as I looked into your eyes.
I felt a loving presence
but I did not realize.
That we had always been together
since that moment we had met.
Out to get your camera,
My love has no regrets.
