… you come across love songs that actually fit your experience of love.
It’s rare.
Which is amazing, given all the love songs in the world.
But this one? This one is me.
Me and all my conflicted, bananacake, argumentative, overly-romantic, dippy-headed ways of loving and being.
(How does one type a smile without using an emoticon?)
***
Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I’ll never be the same.
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands,
Honored to love you.
Still I wonder why it is,
I don’t argue like this
With anyone but you.
You do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind.
You’ve got this look I can’t describe,
You make me feel I’m alive,
When everything else is au fait,
Without a doubt you’re on my side.
Heaven has been away too long,
Can’t find the words to write this song,
Oh, you’re lovely.
