I met a girl,
With eyes deeper than a night sky,
Eyes holding a beauty even the stars can’t replicate,
I met a girl,
With a smile that gave me hope,
That refreshed me no matter how the day I’d had, had gone
I met a girl,
Who I thought I could love,
Who I saw myself loving,
Who I would love to love,
And still I had to let her go,
I met a girl,
And I thought I would never have to meet another,
I didn’t want to,
I didn’t need to,
I met a girl who I think would’ve been all I’d ever need,
And I miss her,
I see you,
When the world gets too loud,
And the walls close in,
And you’re fighting to hold back the tears that you’d much rather get out,
I see you,
As you try and try,
Keeping it all together when a lesser person would’ve collapsed,
I see you,
When you doubt yourself,
And when you don’t give yourself enough credit,
I hear you when you laugh,
God, I love your laugh,
And I wish everyone could hear it,
But that only I could earn it,
The sound that taught me what “music to my ears” actually felt like,
I feel you,
Even when you’re not here,
And especially in the quiet moments,
When I can imagine what you’d say before the words leave your lips,
I wake up to the sound of your breathing,
And the touch of your skin against mine,
And the thought of you next to me feels like one of the great blessings the Lord grants me each morning, just for waking up,
I see you,
When you’re doing what you love,
Surrounded by the people you care about,
Dancing away into the night,
When the burdens leave your shoulders,
When you’re free,
I remember all your chosen phrases,
The silly and the cute,
I remember all your ticks and expressions,
The ones when I get on your nerves,
And the ones when I make your day,
I met a girl,
Who could drive me as crazy as she could love me,
And I, her.
