Like the ring on my finger
You are familiar to me
But today we met somewhere unfamiliar
A little cafe in the middle of town
And it felt like meeting someone new

Sitting across from you
I felt a nervous tingle

I made a joke
And your laugh sounded
Like a forgotten melody
I had been yearning to hear

As we parted, you kissed me
And I said “I love you”
And I felt feeling in those words
Like a flash of lightning
On a rainy summer night
Throwing off the blanket of darkness
Jolting me back to life
