Between Coffee Cups

I walked in just to clear my mind,

Another ordinary afternoon.

Then you looked up for just a second,

And somehow all the noise left the room.

You smiled at the barista,

tucked your hair behind your ear,

I don’t know what happened then,

but I knew I wanted you here.

I kept rehearsing words I’d never say,

Wondering if I’d regret walking away.

‘Cause I think I fell for you

Between the coffee cups and crowded afternoons.

Didn’t know a stranger’s eyes Could feel so much like coming home.

If love begins with simple things,

Then maybe ours

started with your smile.

So if you’re wondering why

I’m here tonight… It’s because I can’t pretend anymore.

I think I’m falling for you.

Now every morning tastes the same

Unless I catch a glimpse of you.

Funny how one little hello

Turned into everything I look forward to.

You never had to try too hard,

You were just completely you.

And somehow that’s the reason

I can’t stop thinking about you.

Maybe I’m moving way too fast,

Maybe you’ll laugh when you hear this.

But if I never tell you now,

I’ll always wonder what I missed.

So here’s my heart without a script,

No perfect lines, no grand disguise.

Just a guy who found forever

Looking into your eyes.

If you’d let me,

I’d choose you

Every morning, every cup,

every chance.

Who would’ve thought the love I’ve been searching for

Was waiting in that

little coffee shop.
