Velvet Horizon

Before the fire learned to glow

Before the rivers learned to flow

Before the stars were given names Before the sky knew how to

rain

There was your hand inside of mine No clocks,

no maps, no sense of time

No gold, no crowns,

no wars to fight

Just you and me

beneath first light No language on our lips

Still somehow, we understood

No promise carved in stone

Still loving you just felt so good Before we had words Before

we had songs

Before forever Before right and wrong I knew your heart

The way the ocean knows the shore Before the world was born

I think I loved you before

No mirrors told us who to be

No strangers judging what they’d see No diamonds,

no designer dreams

Just moonlight dancing on the leaves

You smiled and heaven learned its shape

I touched your face and time was made No history,

no yesterday

Still somehow love found us that way

No kingdom, no religion

No reason we were meant to stay

But in the quiet of your eyes

I found a home I couldn’t name

Maybe love was never made

Maybe love was always there

Waiting in the dust of stars Breathing softly in the air

Maybe we were not the first

Maybe hearts are born that way

Even in a silent world Love still finds a way Before we

had words Before we had names Before the fire

Before the flame

I knew your soul Like sunlight knows the open door

Before the world was born

I swear I loved you before
