decided when I was 18
by Britt Treece
wearing black for another day
time and distance all but taken away
all that's good
in my mind I can see...
feel the pain of love lost and run away
lost and run away
how do I take another step?
how do I take another breath?
only by the strength of God
how did I ever find this girl I love with all my heart?
only by the grace of God
little boy, do you remember when you fell in love?
remember her face, remember her care for you
do you see her face when you sleep?
do you relive your time together in your dreams?
don't you wish
don't you wish?
and now she's walking away from you, with her back to you
what do you choose to do?
now ask yourself again, what do you choose to do?
love is patient, love is kind
it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud
it is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered
it keeps no record of wrongs
love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth
it always protects, always believes, always hopes, always perseveres
love never fails
