Shy smiles, butterflies
hidden grins, it feels so right
distance closing
the dance begins
show me a kiss
show me your dreams
if you look, you will find me there
if you look, I'm right here
beneath a protected heart
special moments lay in waiting
the first love after heartache
is the strongest of them all
shy smiles, butterflies
a hopeful glance, taking a chance
a hopeful glance, taking a chance
you cannot have forever
until you first share a moment
share a moment with me.

Such a beautiful, hopeful poem. The first love after a heartbreak... *sigh* Love this song too. I sure wish we were closer because you always write my heart. I planned to write this week because I love the topic and maybe I will but I feel like you wrote for me! <3
