THE LOVES

When my lips first touched your cheek
You stopped my breath, you stole my speech
What I desired finally in my reach
And when we danced my soul took flight
I could have danced with you all night
Cause when we danced it felt so right

I remember just how close we danced
How your sweater felt beneath my hands
In your arms I came to understand

I’ve only just realized how puppy love feels
I’m bubbling champagne from my hairs to my heels
My head’s full of air and my universe reels

I hate that every word I say
To you is riddled with cliché
I never guessed the feeling that it takes
In searching through the lexicon
To find the words to write the song
That’s occupied the poets for so long

I’ve only just realized how puppy love feels
I’m bubbling champagne from my hairs to my heels
My head’s full of air and my universe reels
	Just from running a hand through your hair
	Just from two hours’ words that you spared
	From a single kiss shared with you

I finally saw clear what I never could see
Only a girl, but you showed it to me
Wish that I’d known this when I was 18

My thanks to you for all you’ve been
But I still have battles I want to win
And run the race God’s placed me in
I don’t know how I will come out
But I know that someday without a doubt
I’ll learn what we were all about

And someday I’ll discover how true love feels
Like warm apple cider from hair to my heels
Spicy and cozy and earthy and real
	With fall and jazz in the air
	I hope that you’ll be there
	To finally share a home with love
