I didn't see us coming-
I didn't see us falling asleep side by side
And waking up to fingertips rolling
Down my spine like the chills do
When your lips find the crook of my neck.

I didn't see you putting it all
On the line so I could try to love you
Once more and do it well;
I didn't see you ever being selfless enough
To open back up to me.

I didn't see me writing poem after poem,
Stanza after stanza about you and
The way you make me feel so safe and
Comfortable, as if we were just supposed
to be, be here together.

Just like us, I don't have to force any lines or words;
They flow, they come to me easily
And I have to write about you
Because that's what I do about people
I feel for, for people that occupy my mind.

I didn't see myself wearing your sweaters to bed.
I didn't see myself wanting to be yours
So badly that it took some liquid courage
To muster up the strength in my muscles
To walk to you and kiss you on that summer night.

I didn't see you for who you really were
Until now, now that I've seen you bare and in my bed,
And in my every **** thought because that's
What happens when you don't see it coming;
It hits you like a ******* train,

And it's the best kind of hit
When you're smacked in the face with the fact that
Someone out there loves you in all the places
You couldn't love yourself, in all of the crevices
Of your body and soul.

It smacks you in the face and then you realize
That it's perfect. He's perfect.
And the only thing I could see coming
Was the fact that I'm leaving,
And losing all of this will hit just as hard, just as deep.

I didn't see us coming,
Not even if you gave me binoculars and a map
So I could have found us out there on the horizon;
Just as the sun sets on the horizon,
We will set too.

I didn't see you being a sunrise
To illuminate my cloudy skies.
I didn't see you being a sunset
That leaves me left alone
In the darkness once again.

I just didn't see us going out like that.
