that my love for you

is anything but new

and that when I first saw you

long ago, with music playing

and you were swaying

smiling with your eyes wet

It sparkled like a sunset

I looked at you and was frozen

you were so beautiful but broken

as I watched the sunset in your eyes

I wanted you to know I’ll be by your side

when the storm hits and everything dries

and darkness covers and puts you aside

I’ll be there to get you through

and I won’t stop feeling this way for you

when you smiled through your pain

it felt like a wash of summer rain

there’re no words I could’ve spoken

you were so beautiful but broken

like you I have seen none

I had no doubts you were the one

and when your eyes met mine

I felt our stars were in line

your smile, felt like a breeze

and that moment, I wanted to freeze

I tried to hide but my eyes didn’t lie

your beauty, no poet could justify

and at that moment I felt chosen

you were so beautiful but broken
