LAYLA'S WORLD
BEING IRRELEVANT BITS AND RELEVANT PIECES OF LETTERS FROM LAYLA,
WHO DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT WHAT YOU THINK UNLESS YOU'RE REAL AND COOOL
I was four years old an she was five
she was my first older woman
she showed me how it feels to feel alive
she took me into her bussom
I walked into her room
she was playing with herself
it was not like any story
in the books on the shelf
so I thought it should be told
cuz it happened to me
this is not a fantasy
this is my history
my first love
went all the way
unconditional trust
unconditional play
and nothing since then
moved me the same way
as my first love...
I can't thank her enough today
the look in her eyes was amazing
like she was not even there
but someplace much more beautiful
somewhere without doubt or fear
and I watched what she was doing
and I started doing it to myself
it was not like any story
in any book on the shelf
so I came here to tell you
about what happened to me
when I was four and she was five
I learned what love can be
my first love
went all the way
unconditional trust
unconditional play
and nothing since then
moved me the same way
as my first love...
and I still love her today
nothing has compared
over the years
to the trust of that first time
the way we shared
before all the fears
is still my most beautiful rhyme
nothing you can do
could make it untrue
even if you call it a crime
my first love was beautiful
my first love was sublime
my first love
went all the way
unconditional trust
unconditional play
and nothing since then
moved me the same way
as my first love...
I'm still loving her today
for all the things she showed me
nothing's felt more like truth
and all the lies I've learned since then
have tried to strip away my youth
lies will corrupt all life shares
until you forget who cares and you say... who cares
but the power is in my own hand
the simplicity to understand
choosing love over the fears
choosing smiles over the tears
nothing's lost over the years
no matter how it appears
my first love
went all the way
unconditional trust
unconditional play
and nothing since then
moved me the same way
as my first love...
showed me how to go all the way
my first love...
and I'm still loving her today
my first love...
still loving her today
my first love...
still loving her today
First Love
Layla
