i was having a fine ole day
till i saw you and you saw me too
and our eyes licked together
and we were feeling something
special something new
i saw it in your eyes
that crinkle the devious you
and we walked down together
making laughing jokes
avoiding scary blokes
and in the coffee shop
you took my hand
and my breath caught
we were electric
fire and ice
crackling together
but i knew it couldn't last forever
our eyes lock together
to this very day
but you and i both know
it can't ever be the same.

this connection was the most real one ive ever felt. for those hopeless romantics out there. it does exit but appreciate it when you find it because it could disappear any second, You never know.

I love it, but I think you meant to say "clicked together," not "licked together" in the third line :D Otherwise, awesome job (I adore the "avoiding scary blokes" line)!
