I Couldn’t Have Loved You More

Do you remember puppy love;

the first one you were conscious of?

I don’t remember who she was.

That’s what loss of memory does.

I can’t even remember why

i felt wings which wanted to fly.

My very first thoughts of romance

i asked if she wanted to dance.

My sweetheart didn’t even know.

I was afraid to tell her so.

I’m not sure she recognized me

or thought of me differently.

I don’t know if it could be true,

but honey, it might have been you.
