(points to head, points to heart)

you had me one second before hello
and neither one of us knew it
something in your carefree smile
curled up next to me and asked questions
i hadn't even thought to explore

i found your eyes hard to look at
and even harder to look away from
your words worked their way into my brain
and to this day i can repeat scores
of your musical melody

in three seconds you changed my opinion
and in three years you've altered my life
in three more i'm sure your footsteps
will have left a greater imprint
than the souls of your shoes have
ever known

you looked at and past and sometimes
even through me
saw more and less than anyone who knew me
laughed at jokes and words that i spoke
and carry my secrets around in your pocket

afraid i closed one too many doors
and left you staring out the window
travel back in time rewind
or fast forward to something
...something i think we'd like
but lack for now

it's a one way street
with too many dirt paths
no stop signs and lights that blink
yes and no and stop and go
too fast too slow

something so hesitant and shy
felt right and wrong and yet
somehow
so strong
all at the same time

pull up a chair
and sit with me
let me in your head
guide me to your heart
