look at me
i'm flying
when you thought
i'd be dying

you know they were important
when you shed tears because of them.

love, i can't say i fully understand
and i can't say i know how you feel.
i can't say what you want me to,
nor can i say that i'll be strong
when you aren't able to.
i can't say i'll be your anchor
for your rusty ship
i'm only human.

but i can say
i will always love you
no matter what.
even when you and i
can't understand each other.

you've got me
forgetting things,
like the key in my door
and my due homework.
you've got me
seeing things,
like your face
everywhere i go.
you've got me
thinking things,
like what'd it be like
to always have you in my arms.
you've got me going crazy
and it's hilarious
that you don't know a thing,
not a clue whatsoever
what you make me do.

they did say only fools rush in
and i daresay that's true,
because i am no wise man
when i'm in love with you.

like a flower, i grew
and you did too
our relationship flourished
in the downpours,
our smiles and laughter
feeding the happiness
in our souls.

like a ship, i sailed
and i think you did too
we couldn't keep
our feet on the ground
gravity didn't matter,
but the force between us did.

like the moon, i was drawn to you
i'm pretty sure you were too
the Sun's light reflected off me,
just a mirrored light
that you still loved to see shine

but like the night, our sorrows
washed away into the light
and i knew
we would be alright.

One year ago,
I met your eyes.
I met those beautiful,
brown eyes.
I saw your grace,
not only in your heart,
but in your movements.
I met your kindness
and I felt like I was valued.
I met your flaws
and you met mine.
And even though
you didn't know,
you stole my heart
right from my hand
and kept it for yourself.
