I wrote this with the idea in mind that just the word you when thinking of someone you’ve just met – a guy who gives you butterflies – can make your head spin with wild anticipation.
From the moment you walk into the room
Every time, I have to watch myself so you won’t see
That looking at you smiling at me makes it hard to breathe
I’ve never been so open, but sitting here with you
It’s just so easy
Listening to your laugh, it’s so breezy
I want to make these moments last forever…
Because with you, I don’t have to try
With you, I know the reason why
I can be whoever I want to be
It’s a beautiful feeling, to finally start believing
That I can be me, that you can see me
When I’m with you
You never know when love comes along
But listen, don’t you hear it playing our song?
What would you do if I asked you to dance?
What’s so bad about just letting things happen?
I’ve never been so open, but sitting here with you
It’s just so easy
Listening to your laugh, it’s so breezy
I want to make these moments last forever…
Because with you, I don’t have to try
With you, I know the reason why
I can be whoever I want to be
It’s a beautiful feeling, to finally start believing
That I can be me, that you can see me
When I’m with you
If I told you how I felt, would that change a thing?
Because the more of you I know, the more I want to tell you everything
I’ve never been so open, but sitting here with you
It’s just so easy
Listening to your laugh, it’s so breezy
I want to make these moments last forever…
Because with you, I don’t have to try
With you, I know the reason why
I can be whoever I want to be
It’s a beautiful feeling, to finally start believing
That I can be me, that you can see me
When I’m with you
Because with you, I don’t have to try
With you, I know the reason why
I can be whoever I want to be
It’s a beautiful feeling, to finally start believing
That I can be me, that you can see me
When I’m with you

Hi melissa,
I have been reading your blog and I think you are amazing. You are insightful and entertaining and most importantly such a beautiful person.
I wish I could share your search for love and all those positives on men and the search for "the one". My "the one" cheated on me with a friend of his and somehow I have never been able to get over that. All my notions of love and idealism faded away into the night. I turned into this person I don't recognize. I see people differently, I am judgmental and over analytical.
Sometimes my head hurts from thinking that someone is playing me – and it has really effected all aspects of my life not just love. When I read your blog I saw a little bit of who I used to be and it brought me to tears.
I wish you the very best and I hope you find a man who is deserving of you, who will treasure you, stimulate your mind and body, and love you.
Thank You,
R

Melissa,
I really wish i could have such an lively spirit to find the one. I really wish for it is just hard to be that lively again after being hurt by somebody.
Lately, I have posted something about love in my blog. I feel awkward for I have never get used to that.
Although I might not always understand what you mean behind all those poems and postings, I love to read your blog…
Nice weekend!:)

y'all are too sweet. I actually had a specific person in mind when I wrote this, but I'm keeping that a secret. For now….
