i feel kinder beside you
like i misread the manual
to keep you in neutral
as i steal your heart
it’s not that i was different
years before i ran into you
just that my demeanour
was mostly held with glue
time was never on my side
to start off on the right foot
so i kept my composure
with a hidden grin
something changed inside
when i came across you
like ice melting in the sun
everything came in tune
your priceless smile
keeping me desiring
the last kiss from you
as the moon rises at night
so take my hand darling
whisper your secrets
in my ear always
to ease my fear
well if you keep running
those fingers of yours
through my curls
i’ll live another day
my days of weeping are over
now that you’ve been spending
every precious moment
alongside me
