Let It Be Me...Ray LaMontagne

The butterflies are flapping their wings in my belly. 

I'm nervous and it reminds me of my favorite mug that says, "why are you so nervous and sweaty"

I love that mug but I don't love it when I am those things on the mug

And you might be the sweetest thing ever

Kind and so handsome

It is so refreshing like basil gelato on a hot Italian summer afternoon

I can't even tell you the last time I felt all the feels

And I Polo my girls like this goofy smiley sixteen year old

And awkward like a 16 year old,

But comfortable in my forty year old body

One day at a time I tell myself, just take it one day at a time

The conversation is smooth and easy

And you're smart 

I like that. 

And way more confident than me and I like that too

You and I are two adventurers 

That keeps my attention

Plus, you make me laugh and it has been too long since I laughed like this

What you don't know but I do, is that you showed up in a red, plaid, flannel shirt

So I knew I was safe

That is a story for another time

But my heart leapt a few beats

So let it be me friend

Because I feel like I can't always say what I want to 

Because thoughts get stuck and die in my throat but bubble up like a laugh and a smile
