Hello, I'm looking for you,
A glimpse of me, a spark that grew,
Are you me, or am I you?
Or something I'm drawn to, the more myself I see.
I know we're not the same,
But somehow we share a flame,
In a crowded room, my eyes met you,
The part of me I never knew.
Oh, I'm sure I saw you at the party,
Caught in the corner of my eye.
A fleeting shadow, a spark in the dark,
The closer we get, the more we lose control.
Without you, I'm just floating,
But with you, I'm whole and free,
Though I'm a hundred percent not you,
You're the missing part of me.
We're intertwined like flame and air,
Close enough, yet stripped and bare.
Not quite the same, but always near,
Two sides of an acid love, so clear.
The stronger I love, the less I'm me,
But in you, I find who I'm meant to be.
If I lost you, I'd lose myself, too-
In a world without you, what could I do?
Back when I was young and shy,
Just twenty, heart racing by,
I'd sit by the canteen door,
Hoping to catch a glimpse once more.
But when you'd come, I'd turn and leave,
Hiding all that I believed,
Couldn't show you what I'd felt,
The way my heart would slowly melt.
Oh, I'm sure I saw you at the party,
Caught in the corner of my eye.
A fleeting shadow, a spark in the dark,
The closer we get, the more we lose control.
Without you, I'm just floating,
But with you, I'm whole and free,
Though I'm a hundred percent not you,
You're the missing part of me.
Heaven knows this love we share,
An endless bond beyond compare.
I am who I think I am,
Because of you, my dearest friend.
Now it's been thirty-six years,
Through laughter, through doubts and tears,
We're two who are nearly one,
Yet still separate, under the sun.
You're not me, and I'm not you,
But everything I am is true,
I'm only me, who I'm meant to be,
Because of you, and only you.
