The First Night We Met
You watched from behind
As I swayed to the music
The first night we met
No network coverage
To cover and color time
The first night we met
No calls to remind
Us that we’re not wild and free
The first night we met
You called me “beauty”
While I saw beauty in you
The first night we met
Nineteen-twenties jazz
Silent phones, no texts, and you

Not my soulmate
You’re not my soulmate
You’re not going to save me
But just take my hand.
You’re not my soulmate
Show me your imperfections
And I’ll show you mine.
You’re not my soulmate
My soul longs to grow with yours
Different, side by side.
You’re not my soulmate
But carry me into bed
Set me down softly.
You’re not my soulmate
But gaze deep into my eyes
Swim into the light.
You...
