The first time i looked in the mirror and saw
My face was not symmetrical
I knew i would need you.
And that was enough
All i needed to know
To keep me from the negative
Haze of frustration.
And the bells,
Keep me running into your arms
And the bells,
Call home.
The first time you walked through the varsity door
Looking like a Russian doll
With a recess and layers.
And after a stand-off, an end to the war.
You’re timing was impeccable, we created each other...
Well. .there’s nothing i want more
Than to tell her tonight
There’s still time.
The last time i looked in the mirror and saw
A face that’s unfamiliar and all the better for seeing you
And that’s all it took
All i needed to know
An end of the negative
Because we understand each other ..
