And I looked right past you
You came knocking at my front door
And I looked right past you
Fluttered heart and worn out soul
And too many same ol same ols
Your mind caught my eye
Intellectually inspired me
To see past swag and chill
Past smooth talk and cool walks
Past empty promises and silent phones
Past going out together and coming home alone
Past salty tears and apologies
Past superficial
Past pretty empty eyes
Past luscious lips full of lies
Past my past that scratches and slices
That slithers into cracks of light of my present
All of this waiting
Blinded by reflections of small stones pretending to be gems
But the stone that stood past her storms did not shine
Did not glisten or gloat
Real and priceless
And he sees past the pain
Past the fear
Past her to me that seemed so far but
He’s right here
