falling in love for the first time is a daunting experience
It should be noted, said she.
"I'm not used to what you're doing to me -
kindness is a stranger,"
"I'm not a stranger," said he.

It should be noted, said she.
"You're not a stranger, maybe -
but all that you are doing,
is so new and unexplained to me."

It should be noted, said he.
"Am I speaking clearly?
Why are you so affraid?
of something yet to be?"

It should be noted, said she.
"I'm not used to being free -
my emotions hold me captive,
from the world of possibily."

It should be noted, said he.
"You are so young and silly -
I offer u my soul,
and this is how you repay me?"

It should be noted, said she.
"I'm sometimes scared to breathe -
like a man sentenced to hanging,
with no way out, no way to leave."

It should be noted, said he.
"I'll take you to the seas -
I'll show you all there is,
has every reason for you to breathe."

It should be noted, said she.
"I'm not used to what you're doing to me -
I do not know this feeling,
but I'm falling to my knees..."

It should be noted, said he.
"I, too, am falling, and so readily -
we shall fall together,
and together we shall be."
