Looking over at you and wishing that
The sky could compete with you
Those stars that whispered lullabies above our heads
Were no match to your lips that told tales of
Forgotten cities and lost love
I forgot how to breathe when you spoke
Because the heaven's were stuck in your words

I remember thinking that not a creature was like you
And I was right
You had the horizons trapped in your eyes from the moment we met
And there was a breeze that was contained in your smile
It made me stumble from time to time
Maybe it was trying to escape
My hands didn't know what to do when you talked to me
Did they waver or did they lie still?

I think now I would still be baffled at the sheer strength of your mind
I would still be taken aback by the threat of storms in your eyes
I would still be afraid of the wind that blew through your frown
And I would still love you
