Look at us
Falling apart
Before each other's eyes

But this is not sad my dear
It was meant to happen
For when we were in the process
Of putting ourselves back together
I didn't notice
That I was grabbing pieces of yours
And you mine

There were spaces of my mind
That indeed weren't mine
For there was new pain there
New memories there

I found out how you saw me
How you've seen me since the very first day

My hair was a completely different shade
My eyes so much more beautiful
For I had never seen my smile this way before
Or at all

The very next time that I saw you
Your face looked a bit more dull
Your posture a bit less defined

You gave me such curious looks
And that's when I knew
That even though
You saw yourself as dull
And undefined
I still loved you

That was how
We became part of each other
By a mistake
By a chance
That we had fallen apart
Before each other's perspectives
Paralyzed
