Hello stranger,
Do you want to be my friend?
I noticed you from across the room and my heart started to skip a beat
I'll be honest with you
Even though I don't know you
You're eyes are the most beautiful things I have ever seen,
I haven't felt so strong about a stranger in a long time
But someday I can see myself loving you
Is that strange?

I guess not
Since you took my hand and sat me down
Talked to me for hours
And never tried to make anything but a cautious sound
Told me I was beautiful
And I believed it for the first time in years
You called me the next day
And we spent all day replaying images in our head
On the cool moist grass with the sun purposely reddening our skin

I looked into your eyes
A blue I have never seen
Something like the sunlit sky and the darkest part of the ocean mixed cautiously over low heat
I told you again how your eyes made my heart sink
And you told me that they are only blue
That mine are so rare, dark, green, and beautiful
I felt butterflies flying like crazy
And I wanted to lean in and kiss your soft full lips
But you beat me to it
And I can honestly say
It felt better than good
And now you're stuck in my head.
