First time my eyes met yours
My speech was so constrained
Your hair matched your eyes
Your eyes matched your smile
And your smile has remained
Ingrained, just like a coke-nosed stain
It never goes away
It remains
Until you say you’ll stay
First time I heard your voice
Mine was dark, scratchy and hoarse
Of course, you don’t need to know why
First time my eyes met yours
My speech was so constrained
Your hair matched your eyes
Your eyes matched your smile and your smile
Has remained
In my mind for years
I’m inclined to fear that you
May slip away
Now that my mind is clear
I’ve had time to fear
That you, may slip away
Just not today
First time I saw your face
I was lost and caught in the race
Just in case
You didn’t realize
My place
First time my eyes met yours
My speech was so constrained
Your hair matched your eyes, your eyes matched your smile and your smile
Has remained
In my mind for years
I’m inclined to fear
That you, may slip away
Now that my mind is clear
I’ve had time to fear
That you, may slip away
