Hands in the same place
Eyes always itching to look your way
Pride always by your shoulder
Love always in your pocket
This was me
Neither before her
My eyes kept looking
My heart kept beating purposeless
My soul kept longing for someone
Life had no meaning
But my soul kept seeking her
This is what I did
What I did before her
On my search a lot of things caught my eye
But one person touched my heart
Finally had I found my purpose
My purpose to love
When our eyes met our hearts stopped beating
But our love kept flowing
We shared our first kiss
Although it was a stolen kiss
I'm the gloomy night
I was finally complete
This is me
This is what I want to do
For the rest of our lives.
