Written For You

Looking at her reflection, hardly fascinated by the sight 

Of years passed, no change, until she unknowingly 

Stares and locks eyes with you 

She'll smile as you start the game 

Not realizing she'll win because overtime

She's become her least favorite thing 

But she'll notice you 

She'll notice how your lip curves when you laugh 

She'll notice the way you walk 

She'll notice the way you look at her 

She'll be able to recognize your voice from anywhere

But when asked what you notice about her

You'll start the game again 

And notice 

Her eyes remind you of leaves in the fall 

From green to brown they change

The smell of her hair reminds you of the ocean

As your hand surfs every brunette wave 

The game will continue 

Until your smiles meet

She'll familiarize herself with 

the gentleness of your hands

As you get to know the softness of her skin

You'll notice her winged liner

becoming thinner 

Because she'll no longer want to 

Fly away 

But by the end of the game

You'll both look away 

And realize this was only 

written for you...
