That moment/I saw the light of day

It was true. We had good times. My first girlfriend. We were young. Then you talked about engagement, and I was confused and uncomfortable. Our relationship was a falsehood, because I was in love with your 17-year-old brother, and he was with me. I had to be ruthless and I told you I didn’t want to see you anymore. That was forty years ago, and you never knew the reason why.
