Trick yourself into believing it's not love
It always starts off so easy
"She's just nice" you tell yourself
You try your hardest not to believe that she could see something in you that you don't
Someone could be special to you and that's fine
It's the moment that someone makes you feel special that you wake up a 3 am in a cold sweat praying one day you're  lucky enough to even attempt to make her happy
When you start to feel special to someone, you're entire world changes
The sun shines warmer on the little purple flowers in your yard and isn't so heavy on your shoulders
The birds' songs sound like symphomies in your yard and you can almost hear them spill out over the edges of the world
The breeze is gentle and no longer pushes against your body and if you focus hard enough you'll swear to yourself you smell her perfume
When you think you're special to someone you'll start to ignore the things about yourself that you hyper-analyze on a daily basis
A shared laugh becomes your favorite song
Every moment together seems too short and everything becomes a little more vibrant

True love is when you feel loved
True love is when you love yourself
True love is when you feel special to someone
It's easy to love someone else, it's easy for people to be special to you

It's when you feel special

That's when it all changes
