Your Firework

How can this happen?

How can this be?

We started without knowing anything

We were strangers.

Random.

To you at least

I felt I knew you; I met you, my heart leaped

My breath stopped the second my eyes locked yours

My heart pumping, I ran

It’s all I knew to do

I know I act like a girl

But believe me

It’s you

You have brought this side of me out

Out to play

Out to be seen

A part I kept so hidden

So deep inside

Longing to be set free

A princess in a tower

Holding my hair up

Will you walk right by?

I take time,

I need to trust

To be able to rely on you

Track records your gender has ruined

You have made me feel new

A good new

Not a fire burning new

I’m scared don’t get me wrong

But

I’ve never felt

So familiar right away

I’ve never been able to forgive so easily

I’ve never smiled so big

I’ve never had my heart explode so many times

It’s a constant firework with you

Your voice

Your eyes

Everything

About you

I crumble

Yet I don’t know you as well as I’d like

I know you though

But I guess what I’m saying is you are full of surprise

A constant gift I must keep unwrapping

Please don’t let me reach the end

I love the part where you don’t know

It’s scary

But I’m on the edge with you

Everything so familiar so mysterious

Is wondrous

About you
