magically normal is the perfect way to describe it
it was as if I had known you my entire life
a lock meeting its key
talking until our lips feared falling off
looked deep into each others' eyes
glanced at the depth of our seas

yet that didn't take away from the fact
it was with the most special person
I could have ever imagine spending that day
you
you with your curls dancing wildly in the wind
the aroma of your perfume blinding my senses
and the warmth in your eyes when I held your hand

I could tell you had never done this before
every time I saw you out of class you were surrounded by the same group of friends
you were a little like me
reserved, proud of the fact

up to this day I am proud of myself
for that moment of bravery,
for who knows were we'd be
where I'd be without you, love
if I didn't make a pact to love you for the rest of my life
