When I Knew
a simple escape from a modern day
the excitement--being somewhere unplanned
we never knew things would end up this way
we ate, though the taco johns was quite bland
a beat up car giving us a good time
worries flew out the window, away...far
soft gazes, feet on his lap--a love mime
we gaze, pretending, looking for a car
he's my pillow in the heat of the sun
country love plays and it enters our hearts
I knew with him, his love would never run
pain, splitting of my heart, when our way parts
so never will i be happy alone
he's the one i can always call my own
