I Saw The Ocean

Dear self, I’ve met someone new
And I wanted to be the first, to deliver the news

This sort of thing is never easy to say
So please I beg you don’t take it the wrong way
Dear self, I think that we’ll be better off as friends
Dear self, it’s not you it’s all me
I wasn’t trying to find someone else, they found me

Its a surprise that just came out of the blue
This doesn’t mean that our relationship’s through
Dear self, I think that we’ll be better off as friends
We’ve always been,
And I hope that doesn’t have to change
From time to time, let’s still check in,
So we can catch up on things
Dear self, I said I’ve met someone new
And I’m trying to be upfront, and just tell you the truth

This is in no way a personal attack
I really wanna keep our friendship in tact

Some might swear by first impressions
While others claim love at first site
Not really sure what this falls under
I only know that I’ve got to try

To get to know this stranger better
And understand what goes on inside

Why can’t I stop thinking about her
Why can’t I stop thinking about her

No matter what this all amounts to
She needs to know she’s a sparkling light
An inspiration and a breath of fresh air
A shining star and perfect summer night

I’m well aware that we’ve only just met
But she’s someone that I can’t forget

Why can’t I stop thinking about her
Why can’t I stop thinking about her

I only hope I can give back in return
A fraction of the spark she’s given me
