2 seconds.
That’s how long shooting stars last.
Of course there’s hundreds;
even thousands every night.
But if we look away from the sky;
for those brief moments,
A star may have already fallen.
2 seconds.
I hadn’t seen your face,
or learned your name.
I heard your laugh and was lost in a promise.
Like a shooting star,
before I knew it,
I had already fallen.
2 seconds.
I was in love in that short time.
With arms wide open,
and a heart ready to be tamed.
You are everything I dreamt of,
and every day that I hoped for.
2 seconds.
Is all it took for me to find you.
If I hadn’t been looking,
if I had taken my eyes off the sky…
I would still be searching.
2 seconds and I was yours.
