Love is a place that exists in my head
We danced as Whitney sang “could I have this kiss forever”
And promised our lives to each other
We embraced and we cried
We held our unborn child and we made ourselves a family
She is so beautiful, look how she has grown
We nurtured her into puberty
And had many more children
In my head we have built castles
We sleep and we awake together
We watch the sunrise by dawn
And retreat as it sets at dusk
We kiss under the moonlight
And ride through the skies on stars
We sail on dolphins and fly on butterflies
Everything that tore us apart does not exist anymore
We are young and foolish
But above all, we are in an endless love
In a place that exists in my head
