If you were Any Other Girl...... I wouldn't be writing this If you were Any Other Grl...... All of these thoughts that stumble around my head like drunk men trying to find their way home wouldn't exist And I say drunk men because it's easy to understand sober men Yet these thoughts seem inexplicably intricate.... If you were Any Other Girl...... I'd be able to decipher all of these emotions and realize that after seven drafts of a poem I should probably give up on trying to explain that if I could I would nail my hands to the very stars themself if only it would give me a tongue crafted of pure gold.... Maybe then I'd be able to explain to every passing stranger how I can see a masterpiece in your very smile If you were Any Other Girl..... I wouldn't stumble over wanting to kiss you If you were Any Other Girl..... I wouldn't want to brush your hair back slowly, acting like a walking cliché in the desperate hope that your smile would inject my pitiful heart with enough courage to lean in and just be close to you If you were Any Other Girl.... I would have kissed you a hundred times over But you see the truth is that...... You're not Any Other Girl You're gorgeous Your smile seeps into me like water soaks into the parched land and gives it new life Your hair seems to have a life of its own and I can't help but think that if you were Medusa's daughter, being turned into stone would be worth it because the last thing imprinted on my vision would be a walking artwork And what I want you to know is that when you smile I feel the precious bud of bravery blossom within my chest And I manage to convince myself that I will kiss the most beautiful girl I've ever had the privilege of knowing Yet when confronted with a face as pure as a Mondrian painting And more beautiful than a Vermeer or a Botticelli Massive waves seem to form over me and I stand beneath behemoths of beauty and I laugh.....as these waves crash over me My inconsequential bravery is washed away in the face of your beauty as I realize for the first time that this girl is....... worth the frustration She is worth the wait Worth the energy Worth the embarrassment of letting an awkard attempt at a kiss melt into a more awkward hug.... But the simple truth is..... You are not Any Other girl You. Are. Worth. The. Journey. And I can not wait to savour as much of it as I can with you
