This Isn't About Anyone You Don't Know

This isn't about anything

You ever knew

It's not about me,

Not about you

Its the wind and the rain

The silence and pain

And all the rest lodged tight in between



This isn't a story that's true

Its about a man

None you ever met

None that you knew

He loved life so full and pure

More than one can endure

And so he had to give it all up in one day



He met a girl

That he never knew

Someone so beautiful,

So pure, and so true

He gave her his heart

Allowed her to tear it apart

Now he's ever so lost and confused



Until one day

When he met you

He stuck around

And he flirted, too

He thought about starting again

A brand new cautious man

He might someday trust you with his fragile heart, too



But when tomorrow

Means starting anew

He might mess up

He won't know what to do

He wants you to be patient

He wants you to be kind

He wants to replace all that he's left behind



Sometimes its just best

To only be true

That this man loves looking at you

He enjoys the sense of your skin

The deep passion within

He loves simply getting to know more about you

And with every day he feels closer and closer, too



This is about everything

We ever knew

It's just about me,

And about you

Its the sound of your breath

The breathing along with my chest

And all the heartbeats in between



This is a story so true

Its about a man

One you only just met

One that you getting to know

He lovs life so full and pure

More than one can endure

And so he had to share it and give some away

I believe I shared who this is for already in the lyrics.  It's for you, of course!  

ps- sorry for being stupid tonight.
