Believe
I'm seeing your face in my head again all of a sudden
Nostalgia of meeting you as a child & barely budding
Into the decades of pen-pals we've become
I never bragged - I stayed humble - 'cause I knew with you I'd won
I remember chatting with you when I couldn't even spell
And again & again I'd come running to you, with my California Hell
Big little girl tears fell from my face
Home to you I'd run, like I was running in a race
I didn't have an invisible friend - but I DID have a faceless username
Puddles & puddles & puddles of tears welled up in tiny puddles on that desk for years
Along with smiles, virtual kisses & hugs
As long as I had you - I was a bug snug in a rug
Years & years & decades on - that spark was becoming incredibly strong for two people across the world who increasingly felt that they didn't belong
(If we gave it a fair shot this time) I guarantee together we'd make the HARDEST dubstep song
Seven years later - show me what you're made of!
Open my eyes to something the first time around I missed
Show me like the first time, our friendship's worth THIS
And let me convince you this time what in you the first time I saw
Upgrade & renew the first hand of cards we drew
And let me show you why you'll ALWAYS be important to me
But this time all I ask is for you to BELIEVE
This time open up to me
Introvert was first - this time we aim for extrovert
And next time when it's rocky - this time don't desert...
