He chose his words carefully, not knowing (to me) how much they mean As I was re – introduced to you by my computer screen So the three of us sat, eyes targeted on one another, (I couldn’t smile that hard again if I tried) My hardened heart was slowly crumbling When, over screen, I’d meet your eyes The way your words meant the world to me And the sense of humor we both shared How still, to this day, with all clich? (C)’s thrown aside You make me feel as though I’m walking on air The thought of you warms my blood The sound of your voice is like rainfall Your smile, your laugh like a cool drink of water Your embrace, a warm sweater on a cold winter day All of these words out, and I’ve still more to say I will make it back to you Will return for you soon If you’d wait one more day I’ll ride in on the moon And sweep you up with me And together we’ll see Just what forever feels like While we watch the falling of leaves And I’ll remove the middle man The one who helped me to see Something not worth losing A girl in a far away city.
