Your Favorite Song

I know you’re upset that our romance 
Isn’t like that of a movie’s 
I know you’re upset 
Because I don’t say ‘I love you’ enough 
But darling 
I don’t want those words 
To be like your favorite line 
Of your favorite song 
That you listen on repeat 
For several days long 
Oh how the writer put those words together 
In perfect harmony 
Where it tickles your soul 
And touches your heart 
You swear it was written just for you 
Until the day 
That song comes on 
And you hit skip on your iPod 
Or it’s on the radio 
And you just habitually sing along 
Then that one line is sung 
Your soul doesn’t buzz 
Your heart doesn’t skip a beat 
And your mind doesn’t even grasp it 
Because when I tell you ‘I love you’ 
I want it to make you feel 
Like it’s the first time 
You’ve heard your favorite line 
Of your favorite song
