if i could explain it to you i'd tell you about the day i realized i love you. sometimes people stumble on it and its like finding a twenty in the gutter. you werent looking for treasure in the street, but how exciting, now you can buy beer. other times you know somethings there, like a misty form in the darkness, you squint your eyes trying to make it come into focus and try not to be afraid. if the lines come solid it all becomes clear...
... and it wasn't love if you fell back in fear. maybe it comes on too fast like a growth spurt and for a year or so your love awkwardly waits to grow into its self. I've heard people clashing at every turn and you clash and you bang, but your head is just misreading passionate love, something gone in translation. like there aren't words for what you feel. you settle for "smile" but what you mean is "smirk". with you, you came in little bits and specks to me, but in a torrent like a sandstorm. a painless pelting. i was smoked out and snowed in by you. on the horizon and in my face, you fairly deafened me. you'd been here for a second when you'd made a permanent place your yourself in my heart. its just that. i can't remember the day i realized i loved you, it was probably the first time we talked, but when i stop and think and look back in my mind on the file it just says "always"
