You’re Different, It’s True
It’s very odd when I think about you.
The things you do only you would do.
On our first date you said to dress warm.
You drove us way into the mountains .
I was getting nervous being with you.
it wasn’t long before I found out then.
You’ve been this way since you were born.
We ended up at a little lake frozen over.
You got skates out of the back. New, never worn.
We had our own private skating rink.
We zipped around till we got bolder.
We had a ball, like in the Olympics.
It was so fun I could hardly think.
Another time you said we’d see a show.
We ended way up on top of a hill.
We saw a meteor shower at night.
It was the best theater place we could go.
It felt so romantic watching it on the hill.
Somehow, I felt that this was right.
I never know what you have in mind.
I never know what you’re going to do.
It seems it is different every time.
Just keep on doing what you do.
It is still odd when I think of you.
I can’t think what I would do without you.
We have been seeing each other for awhile .
I look forward to our next date with a smile.
I wonder if you feel the same as I do.
You say you love doing things with me.
You never get tired of planning things.
We may be bird watching at the zoo.
We may watch whales on the open sea.
I found listening to nature as it sings
to be as beautiful as an opera sounds.
On a trip new things are seen I never knew.
You are so observant you see it all.
You point it out to me as I am overwhelmed.
A new world opened before me as I look around.
I hope our relationship is never threw.
I just want to cling to you and never fall.
You talk to me and new insights are opened.
I never saw so deeply into myself or you.
You say you have deep feelings & you’re not joking.
You want to pour out your love & not feel like a fool.
I never know what you have in mind.
I never know what you’re going to do.
it seems it is different every time.
Just keep doing what you do.
It is still odd when I think of you.
I can’t think what I would do without you.
