I'll never be her
the way her skin unfolded under your candy hands
I'll never look that beautiful
My eyes won't close for your tongue the way hers did
and I won't collide like blowing winds the way she did
I won't collapse from the pressure of your hands on my temples
I won't forget the scent of your skin
I will never be her

I won't give you all the things you are so accustomed too
because I was accustomed to them too
I won't whisper my secrets to the wind and know you'll hear them
I won't cross fourteen borders and drive down dark alleyways
to find your soul for you
I can't be her
but I'd still cross a million oceans, fly a thousand planes
just to see your smile one more time
but I won't ever be her
I won't gawk at the things you do
but I'll get angry when you forget about dinner
or forget my birthday
But I won't hold it against you forever
I won't remind you of your mistakes over and over
I will remind you you're beautiful
the most beauty I've ever seen in a man
But I won't be her

But I will be this
I will be the one to wipe the snowflakes off your cheeks
for every Christmas I get to keep you
and I will hold your hand through every hallway
alleyway, tear and dream
I will kiss your holy temples and run with you through glory pastures
I will be the moon under your feet
and the most beautiful love you could ever imagine
until you fall for something else
or until you don't
I will never be her
But I will always love you
