My Favorite Mistake

My mind races a million miles an hour

Just thinking of things to say to you

Thinking of ways to make it to your heart

My mind wears you like a piece of metal soldered to my brain

And I can't help but smile when you appear behind my eyes

I long trace your image with my fingertips

And long to caress your quiet lips with my thumb

I want to burn this image of you into my skull

So I'll remember you like this for always

My life, my heart, my favorite mistake

Everything seems to come together when I hear your voice

See your face

Read your words

Everything seems to fit like a glove when you talk to me

Smile at me

Laugh with me

Everything feels right with you
