My fingers
Tracing your arms
Climbing your skin
Finding your neck

Placing my ear
Against your chest
Hearing your heartbeat
Your warmth
Seeping into my smile

Peering up
To find your loving eyes
Waiting for me

You
Leaning down
Pressing your smile
Against mine

i thought i already knew how it felt
to cope with depression when you're in love
but it turns out that what i had before wasn't really love
or at least he didn't know how to love me like you do
because
this time
things are different

the slightest shift in my mood
and you can feel it in the air
and you are reaching for me
making sure that i am okay
and me
so used to being pushed away
and told i'll be okay
i don't know what to do
but fall for you, just a little harder

when i break down and you're there to lift me up
to stick the broken pieces back together
never complaining when you cut yourself on a jagged edge
i find myself at a loss for words
to tell you how much it means to have you patiently reassemble me
and so when words fail i reach into chords
simple progressions and notes
that twine together into something beautiful
all this in the hopes
that somehow i can show you
what you've come to mean to me

people change everyday
so i vow to fall in love with you
every time the sun rises
