When we first met you were a firework, Soaring through the night sky, Hurling yourself into an explosion of color and light, I watched from below in awe of your presence,
When we first met, I had butterflies fluttering in my chest, newly awoken and freed from their cocoons, With a thirst to see all of what this new place had to offer,
When we first met, I was a boy who had been growing up just a little too fast, The parts of myself I thought I lost long ago came stumbling out from their corners and onto center stage, Making me feel younger than I have ever felt before, Putting laughter back into my vocabulary,
When we first met, You were a girl with a smile and so much to give, Armed with a desire to wrap this world in your arms and whisper that it would all be okay in the morning,
Dear unrequited lover.. I know this dance is a slow one, My feet are clumsy and my arms are heavy sometimes, But this song is one I can move too.
