On New Year’s Eve I looked at you
And my heart blew up in my chest
It wasn’t love at first sight
You had always been a constant in my life
But that night you laughed
And it was like seeing you for the first time

I haven’t found a way to stop finding you beautiful
It’s been months but you’re still the only thing that I can think of
Everything reminds me of you

I find pieces of you in everyone that I meet
My barista has your hair
A stranger on the street has your smile
Your brother has your eyes
I couldn’t escape you if I wanted to

But while I was lost in you
You found a girl whose voice is honey
A girl that probably fell in love with you the moment she saw you
She makes you radiate sunshine
How can I compete with perfection?

It may not have been love at first sight
But it’s been you ever since
And maybe that’s as close as I’ll get to loving you
Spending nights listening to music in your car
Laughing until we cry as the sun comes up
I wouldn’t trade it for anything
You made my world stop
But without you I don’t know how to make it go again
