Endure

Remember the rush to grow up
When being big would be more than enough
Tough love made no sense at the time
Just a trick to keep mischief in line
Remember the kids on your street
The hours spent hiding, the thrill of the seek
Young love made no sense at the time
Just kids and a comfort they couldn't define
Remember the last day of school
The summer awaiting, the days by the pool
Cursed love made no sense at the time
Just a happy beginning with no end in sight
Remember the flight from the nest
Scared to be leaving, prepared for the rest
First love made no sense at the time
Just an anchor away to keep the ship right
Remember the first day we met
A look and a smile I'll never forget
New love made no sense at the time
Just a semester abroad and then back to our lives
Remember your decision to stay
A move to Madrid, two train rides away
Desperate love made no sense at the time
Just a lucky solution to let love survive
Remember November '09
Better together than to never decide
Distant love made no sense at the time
Just knew what we wanted and didn't think twice
Remember when you finally arrived
Chicago was waiting but not more than I
True love made sense for the first time
Just like that we were one; heart, body and mind
Remember me, my love, if you'll try
For a day comes where you'll have to decide
Sometimes love makes no sense at the time
Just know that and we'll be just fine
