UNCONDITIONAL

i.

I began to fall in love with you
Before we met
When I was a student at Cal Berkeley
At a co-op party
A woman sang Van Morrison
"Tupelo Honey"
The way she was singing
Time didn't exist
It reminded me of you

I began to fall in love with you
Before we met
Many years ago
My parents had a portrait
Painted in watercolor
The way their fierce proud love
Shone through
Time didn't exist
It reminded me of you
