From the First Time
From the first time I saw you
I knew you were the one
From the first time we locked eyes
I knew you were mine
From the first time we spoke
I knew that you were more than one of my 'bros'
Like a thief acting in the night you stole my heart
Your smile was what bark is to a tree -
A source of comfort from the good and the bad,
the hot and the cold.
Just knowing you changed me
Like a potter's hands turning clay into something beautiful
I was like grains of sand on a beach, following the wind with no sense of direction or my final destination.
But you came along and made me into something magical, like a glass-maker turning sand into glass.
But like a bird, you flew away at the first sign of danger.
I heard your footsteps like the crack and the snap of breaking branches.
I wanted pity from people.
I was not okay and went back to my old ways.
Ways that lead me astray.
Then I heard your footsteps again, like the soft pitter patter of rain.
Hopefully you are here to stay cause I still have so much to say.
And now here we are-
Lucky I didn't drown.
Lucky that you came before all of this affected my brain.
Cause baby being with you is like having all my wishes come true.
And oh, If I had a dime for every moment I thought about
From the first time..
