You sit just across the table from me but you may as well be a universe away
I know you aren't happy with the way your life is going right now and I wish I could change that
I'd kiss your scars and hold your hand and lie with you, my head on your chest, while we watched all your favorite shows
And I'd stay, even if there were a hundred episodes and it took us three days to watch them all
I'd come up with the best surprises but you'd never be surprised because my excitement would bubble over and I can't keep a secret to save my life
I'd give you keys to the locked up memories of my heart and let you dig through the parts of me that nobody else gets to see
I'd make you tea and coffee and hot coco every morning, even though you'd probably wake up before I would
I'd take you to the park and we'd have picnics and play hooky like we did in grade school
We'd debate about science and religion and love at six pm over chocolate chip pancakes
We'd drink champagne and count fireflies under the summer stars
I would do everything in the world with you
Things I've never wanted to do with anybody else until you came along
But you're a universe away
And we can never truly be a "we"
