First night I really met you

Song about the first night I met my boyfriend who is now the love of my life.

You were the first one that I saw

Lost amongst a poppy's bloom

And I was too shy to stop and ask for direction

But up in flames went my old reflection

So I took a step closer to you

 

But the crowd engulfed me

Though you were still on my mind

With every drink I thought of the possibility

What maybe could become of you and me

Amongst night's slipstream

 

I didn't think anyone understood me

But in between the shots of tequila, I was hoping that you'd notice me

Not knowing though what I wanted you to see

Just hoping for your hand to brush against mine

That our fingers grasped together could define

Something that you'd understand

 

The crowd left, eyes heavy with alcohol

But it was just us before sleep anyhow

Lost in your every word

Falling sane with the absurd

Hours slipping through finger tips

 

Every song that came on painted a picture

With no frame, just ambiguity

Sitting next to you, unsure

Pent up, wanting to be more

Wishing just to unfold

 

I didn't think anyone understood me

But in between each ciggarette, I was hoping that you'd notice me

Not knowing what I wanted you to see

Just hoping your lips would brush against mine

That our kiss could somehow then define

Something that you'd understand

 

The stars began to fade into dawn

Time was fleeting fast

Heart racing like a hummingbird

Looked into your eyes without a word

Our faces meeting perfectly

 

Unfolding as we ran downstairs

To watch the sun glide over the trees

Enmeshed in eachother, morning's peace

My broken dreams began to cease

Because this was something real

 

I didn't think anyone understood me

But in between our shivers from the morning cold

I was just so happy to have someone to hold

Hoping that you were happy to hold me too

Underneath the new sky, powder blue

I think that we both understood

I like it. I tried reading it with a tune but I failed miserably because it kept changing in my mind lol. Almost too good to be true type of love story haha. But it flows nicely and really shows that internal mental struggle when you see someone that melts your heart with their eyes.
