It’s human nature to fall in love
It’s just something I didn’t consider to be
I never thought it would happen to us
I didn’t even think of you as a nominee

But jealousy when other girls say your name
And the pestering joy when you’re just there
The adrenaline rush knowing you feel the same
My heart beating fast cuz it’s gross that I care

If you ever fall out with me what would I do?
I’ve come to peace with you living in my head
I can’t have a conversation that’s not about you
I can’t sleep without picturing you in my bed

We haven’t expressed the way that we feel
But it’s all round you can feel it in the air
What I’d do to call you something like dear
What I’d do to have you sitting right there

I don’t want to jump to conclusions
But if I leaned in to kiss you, you’d kiss me back
I don’t want to fall deep into delusion
But you make my dark world seem less black

And when you’re sad I want to hug you
But I’m not sure if we’re there yet
I’ve never felt this weird way that I do
I feel like such a child and it makes me upset

But all of those feelings could wash away
If one of us was brave enough to say it
The edges of our electricity could fray
If nobody will forever never admit

There’s a rare beauty we have in our love affair
Falling for someone we never thought we would
My mother is concerned but why should I care
I’ll be more sure about this than I should

I think back to my first night laying eyes on you
I thought you were in the way of what I wanted
Embarrassing I know but your brother dude
Knowing what I do now I would’ve never called it

I’m grateful for your humor and your kindness
If you asked me to marry you right now I would
Exhilarating when you call me your highness
I picture our names carved into the woods

It feels like a movie that I never want to end
One I’d watch over and over again

It’s 2:00 AM and I’m on my bed alone
Writing this poem and nearly breaking
I want the seeds to grow that we’ve sown
I really hope that I’m not mistaken
