Today I Love a Girl

Today I am just a man, 
In love with a girl. 

She has eyes that glimmer, 
Like emerald water. 

And she smells sweet, 
Like lemons and fruit. 

She loves eating pomegranate seeds, 
And talking about her favorite books 
While sitting in the grass
That always leaves stains on her pants. 

She knows me, 
And keeps my secrets in her heart 
Next to hers. 

And deep down she does love me, 
But not how I love her.

    The memories of a past day 
    Flood my mind
    The way the sky 
    Framed the earth 
    As for the first time 
    They walked together 

    As the buildings 
    Surrounded by the sky 
    And the sun

    This song sounds like spring 
    The joy we had 
    Sitting in the grass
    As it stained your white overalls 
    That your mother embroidered 
    With purple flowers 
    Your favorite color
