Cross-room glaces
From gray eyes
Evoke feelings I'd left behind
Hidden in pockets
[I wore my heart up my sleeve]
So I'll send you myself
In an envelope
On which says:
To the boy I can't seem to get rid of
And when you open it
And I appear
There better be a smile in those gray eyes
I won't have it
Any other way

Cross-room glances
From gray eyes
Bring back memories
Of silent
awkward
late night
car rides
And I remember
the way the moon reflected off your face
the way the wind from the open window
  flushed your cheeks
And I remember thinking that
just in that moment you were flawless
[I wear my heart on my sleeve]
So I'll send you my heart
In an envelope
And when you open it
And it appears
There better be a smile in those gray eyes
I won't have it
Any other way.

We were meant to live for so much more have we lost ourselves?
Maybe redemption has stories to tell maybe forgiveness is right where you fell.

Honestly, that whole first stanza could've ended the whole thing; but the second part made it better. I like how the heart on my sleeve pops up just outta nowhere even though you kinda expect it. I have nothing but a smile in my brown eyes when I read this.... very good.
