Counterpart

Freckles on the face of the sky

Stars reflecting in your eyes

As street lights pass by

Draped over the sky light

Of your car

And we could shut down every bar

In this town

And it still wouldn’t slow us down

Riding on the waves

Of this stereo, burying fears in little graves

That drift out of the window and away

From us as we speed down the interstate

And I look over at you to find

That the only thought that occupies my mind

Is how nicely your hand fits in mine

And it sends shivers down my spine

The way you fit me

Like a piece

That has been missing

You look at me the way I’ve always wanted

Someone 

To and you

Are the light that shines on me

You are sunshine on a freckled cheek

You are the moonlight in the dark

You are every star

In that sky

And as I ride

In this car with you by my side

I can’t help but believe

In things like destiny

How could I feel something so intensely

And not feel more alive than ever before

Smiling until my face is sore

Until my cheeks quiver

And I stand to deliver

Something that will explain

Why I pour my words over you until all that remains

Are the breaths between phrases

Where we will fall for each other even in the spaces

Between

Because each time I blink

I am in an old scene

Replaying some memory

Of a place we’ve been or a thing that we’ve seen

I could go on forever

And never

Be able to adequately show

You how good it is to know

That my heart

Has recognized its counterpart
