See There's This Guy...


I usually start off with

"See there's this guy"

just to soften the blow

or make it a little more relaxed

And then I go on and on

like he is absolutely amazing

And you won't believe how

perfect he is for me

Then I began to describe

all the sweet things you do

How you make me feel

like I'm all you see

That I'm your one and only

and you could never picture yourself with another

But by then I have to

ambiguously use "they"

because "he" no longer feels right

Lying to myself and whoever

by classifying you to the ultimate right

But how could I when I love that

we are so far left

So I say how "they" tell me "they"

love me every time I need it

And how "they" make me feel like

I can do absolutely anything

Then how "they" gave me flowers

and I could have melted right there

Of course after so long

this "they" gets so confusing

Like of course its a "they"

because you are everything to me

and "they" fits perfectly

because I love all of you

even though its just a you

But you have to understand

that in order for them to "get it"

I must once again categorize

this love that belongs to no category

So for our sake

this what I must do

I want them to understand

that this really is a love like no other

And you complete every part of me

What I tried to hide--you found

And the complication of us

is now beautifully understood

by both you and I

So now how can I be so contradictory

because it's you that I love

No "he" could ever suffice

and your much too unique and

intricately designed to ever be

looked over as some "they"

I'm captured by your intelligence

Your strength defies earthly concepts

And clearly the world has stopped

and universe has turned completely

Because your beauty is without

verbal naming

I can only help but be in

amazement and awe

When I describe what and who you are

Only to me

Proudly mesmerized

I turn to them and finally say

"That's her"
