i’ve never met someone
with a mind like mine
so when i first laid eyes on him
i didn’t register the fact
that my wits were matched

he was just another boy
with another dream he held
another story he told
another sport he played
another bar he frequented

i count to three
and i try to remember
all the things about him
oh.
how many!

i’ve been told only fools rush in
if so
let me more than a fool
let me blind
let me helpless

i’ve never met someone
with a mind like mine
which is why i’ve always thought
i’d be alone
alone

until he arrived at my door
claimed to be an angel on earth
i laughed—
then i laughed with tears
because maybe i don’t have to be alone
