You and Me.

I fall a little in love with everyone I meet
I fall in love with everything that humanity is and can be
The imperfections and rounded edges draw me in
I want to know your story
Will you tell me?
Will you tell me why you hate that Beatles song
Or why peanut butter with bread is just so wrong .
Will you tell me of your biggest dreams and all that made you.

Of the books you took to bed 

The days when too many thoughts filled your head

Of the time you held your brother’s finger and followed him around
The times the bully put you down

I fall a little in love with everyone I meet
Someone that hands me a piece of their soul 

Trusting me to keep it

I'm mind blown

You trust me? To keep it.

So safely tucked away

All the things you say

Of the times you had a broken bone
The pages of your diary that you think are just a drone

Of the love you thought was yours 

Are just a few
Of the stories I want to hear

From you

I fall in love a little with everyone I meet 

When you tell me 

Of the day you cried yourself to sleep

When you realized that there is only so much you can do

That the burden of privilege is not yours alone

That we are all just turning into each other's clones

When the truth was too much to take
When choices took the name of mistakes

And then when you say, but I moved passed it

I fall in love with you a little. 

It overwhelms me how easy it is to love

To trust and be trusted too

That we are not alone

believe me, you

That all we are looking for is 

a connection

Some common ground to anchor on

To build a bridge

To catch a train

To something, to someone
Who is never too far away

All we need is to not feel so alone

So I look,

I look for stories. I look for people with their hearts on their sleeve.
Because I fall in love a little with everyone I meet.

I want to know your story.

Will you tell me?

Cause I have them too.

Not so different me and you.
