I lifted my gaze for the first time and there you were
We smiled in each other's direction and turned to our separate conversations
We were too young back then
Too young for love, for heartbreak, for stained innocence
But years have passed by
We crossed paths yet again
In a frivolous universe it seems
But I see the fragments of the old you and me
I don't know you
But I feel a tug at my heart
We started talking
Our hearts rapidly beating
I showed you sides of me I haven't let others see
You showed me flaws of yours I couldn't have ever thought of
We embaced each other's imperfections
And filled each other's gaping holes of hollowness
Your mellifluous voice rings in my ears
A beautiful melody that even winds could carry
You took me out to see the gigantic waves
Yet even their splashing couldn't nullify your dark orbs staring right through mine
You told me how you found comfort within my presence
And I had no idea my love was always meant for you
We both found love in the time we were apart
It's time to open a fresh new start.
