But I'm Crazy (and You Are Beautiful)

When I met you,

I thought nothing of it.

You were another person in my life.

I’d be lying if I said

I didn’t find you attractive.

But I’m crazy

And everyone is beautiful.

When we speak to one another,

Sometimes you irritate me

Like no other.

But other times you’re

So interested and curious

and kind and there.

When I met you,

I truly thought nothing of it.

Another person in my life.

One that I’d see every now and again,

Who would be an acquaintance

that would have little affect.

But I’m crazy

and you are beautiful.

I could lie to you and say

it’s just your appearance I admire.

But when we speak to one another

I feel something I can’t explain

It’s not butterflies and it’s not a flutter.

It’s not fear or anxiety.

It’s a feeling like no other.

When I met you,

I swear I thought nothing of it.

Just someone passing by,

Meandering as they awaited their next stop.

A kind face, a sweet heart,

A smile that has my heart drop.

You speak and I shudder.

You laugh and I feel my knees buckle.

I’d be a liar if I said

Those first few months were all I needed.

I didn’t like you.

But I’m crazy,

And your smile is beautiful.

It wasn’t until I got to know you.

When you showed me who you are.

When I met you,

I thought you were nothing to me.

Another face, another time,

Another moment I’d forget in a long line.

But you were so kind, and fair.

You were so honest and out there.

Your music taste was questionable at best

But I’m crazy,

and all of you is beautiful.

You’re loud and obnoxious,

And I’d be an idiot if I forgot to add,

that you can be a bit of a dick.

And I could fib my way past the fact,

that when I realized you weren’t

what I’d expected,

I cursed at the skies and

asked every entity why -

When I met you,

I had no idea what to think.

Who you were, what you wanted to be.

Your name or where you came from.

But your smile lit up the room,

And your voice had me dancing in my boots.

You were strange and exciting

and I don’t know where my mind was.

You were different and new,

And I wasn’t scared.

But I’m crazy,

And you are beautiful.

And then I met you.

And you were so much more.

You are so much more than I

could have ever begun to imagine.

You’ve worked your way into my heart.

You’ve broken down my barriers.

When I met you,

You didn’t matter to me.

But I’m crazy,

And you are everything I’ve ever dreamed.
