"Biggest part of me" by Ambrosia

I'm scared to sing in front of you.
Mostly because when I open my mouth to let out a melody
it sounds like a small animal is dying.

but without even saying anything
I relax and start singing along
to the music that I sent to you

and the song you gave to me
is stuck in my head
I'm playing it on repeat
over and over and over

Hoping, in vain, that it will bring me closer to you.
that somehow, it will ease this tugging in my chest
of a constant desire to be near you.
Just to have your arm around me
to hear your voice in my ear
to curl up next to you
would be enough.

I'm not asking for long, just for now.
Because I know that I get scared easily
but when it comes to you
I'm not scared.
and when I am
it eases in a matter of minutes.

You're the one that I want.

One

There was a serendipitous moment
of all the chairs in the room, I chose mine
of all the seats in the room, you chose yours.
of all the places in each others lives, we chose ours.

It only took one look.
one introduction.
one conversation for my face to light up
and want to know more.

it took one decision
for one night
to change everything.

One moment
for you to say what I never expected
for you to become what I didn't know you could be
into the one
that I want the most.

One afternoon
spent listening to one of the most inspirational women
pull at my heartstrings with her every word
spent sitting next to you.
a fluke circumstance to set this entire thing in motion

and it took me one moment to trust you entirely.
but I only had one day with you
that left me wanting more.

so now I'll wait to find out
if you're
the one.
