Lost in Amazement and Love


Chivalry isn’t dead, you say as you open the door

I don’t know if you can tell, but I wish you’d say so much more

That late night in the quad

Made me believe us meeting was an act of God

 

Soul mates are for fools I used to think

Now having my own is finding my missing link

Truly a gentleman

Makes me feel what no one else can

 

A smile that makes it hard to breathe

And eyes that make me start to believe

I know I’m shying away

But maybe that’s because of all the things I should say

 

Because I love you

I won’t build up my walls like I used to

I’ll watch Star Wars even though I hate it

You’re more perfect then I’d like to admit

 

Because I love you, the world makes sense

I’ve never had feelings quite this intense

And even though I persist that I hate you

Just know that I only hate the way you make things feel so new

 

Because I love you

I know you love me too

It’s in the way our eyes meet

And the way you make my heart beat

 

So maybe the beginning wasn’t ideal

But the feelings were oh so real

So, because I love you

I promise to see this through
