My Head's Above Water

I met a girl Some would say it's fate Bumping into each other when we did Our hearts bruised Clinging onto any spare ounce of kindness that can be spared Her big, stormy eyes locked onto mine Butterflies swirling around my stomach A graceful dance within me We spent hours talking Ranting Laughing Cryjng Shoulder to shoulder in her car Our eyes focused out the windshield Spilling every private, embarrassing memory Debating the ways the world has gone wrong Giving each other hope that it will get better Eventually I never thought I'd meet someone like her Someone so... mesmerizing Someone who can make me speechless without uttering a single word All it takes it a smile, a brush of your hand, a glance And I'm memorizing the hills and valleys of your face How could someone so bright and perfect have the same history as me? How could a smile always grace her lips even when she hid the pain beneath peeling, flaking wallpaper Adorably loud laughs tumbling out of her Her shoulders shake, hunching over, hiding her face It all happened so fast In a matter of 2 days, a little over 12 hours Maybe that's what happens when broken souls find each other They hold on for dear life Needing an anchor A stable hand I just wish we could have been more than just midnight drives
