Butterflies Are Finally Real

I was seriously worried for nothing.

The second I saw you, I could actually breathe again.

We didn't even have that awkward first five minutes.

We just... clicked.

Like we were just continuing a conversation we started years ago.

I kept looking across the table at you, just making sure you were real.

It’s so weird how the voice from my phone matches exactly how you are in person.

You were sitting there telling a story, laughing with your hands,

And I was just trying to process that someone finally gets it.

No performance. No putting on an act to make you stay.

I can tell you anything and you don't even blink or look away.

Oh, my heart...

It feels so light, like it’s finally found a place to rest.

I didn't think a real person could actually be like this.

Because I’ve been praying for this my whole life.

Literally every single night, hoping for someone just like you.

And now you're sitting right in front of me, making it all true.

I wanted to keep things at a slow pace, I really tried to hold back,

But boy, you make me so weak...

And for once, I don’t even care.

How can I already be completely blown away by you?

Just sitting here watching the way you do the things you do.

You melt my heart, you broke down every single wall.

And I’m not even scared of how fast I’m starting to fall.

Deep within my soul, those butterflies are finally real.

This is exactly what I needed you to be.

We walked around for hours until our feet were tired.

Talking about random childhood stuff, the things that keep us going.

You don't compare me to anyone else, you don't keep score.

You just show me empathy, and then you give me more.

I keep waiting to wake up from this, waiting for the catch.

But every single piece of you is just... right.

I’m sitting on my drive home now, looking at the dark,

And my whole car smells like your jacket... and I’m just smiling at the wheel.

Because I’ve been praying for this my whole life.

Literally every single night, hoping for someone just like you.

And now you're sitting right in front of me, making it all true.

I wanted to keep things at a slow pace, I really tried to hold back,

But boy, you make me so weak...

And for once, I don’t even care.

(The vocal cuts out. A massive, beautiful electronic wave takes over. Soaring, emotional chord stacks and a powerful, rolling bassline carry the melody. It’s pure, unadulterated happiness translated into music.)(Instrumental Melodic Dubstep Drop)

I’ve been praying for this my whole life...And now I just want to make sure I do this the right way.

Because I like you.

I really, really like you.

And I’m so glad I didn’t run away this time.

(The bright piano from the intro returns, playing slowly and drifting off. A faint, happy hum trails off into the background.)

You melt my heart.

And the best part is...This is still only the start.

(The final piano chord fades out peacefully into silence)
