When you stepped up in that bus,
My heart began to beat for once.
Your eyes caught mine, and in time.
'Cause I couldn't last without them.

Staring, I couldn't believe what I saw,
My voice trembled as I gazed in awe.
I'm sleeping, dreaming, aren't I?
Pinch me.
If you are real, I have not yet lived.

That was then, and this is now,
Your stirring buzz hits me every day.
Thoughts tumble throughout tomorrow,
As I stumble with words to say.

Close enough, to hear you breathe,
My mind sends out a certain notion.
Our hearts will stay, but we must leave.
'Cause you've made me hot with emotion.

I will never understand how you came to be,
No one thought you up, if they did, it was me.
What I want is certainly clear,
Your love to hold, truely dear.

You take me higher than anything else,
Can I reach such heights to find you?
Like you, I have no one but myself,
So as one, I am here to pay emotions due.

Maybe you could care less then none,
But for five years, it has been fun.
Close this lifelong tale with words long and true.
Only then will such thoughts of us come through.
