I stare at you
From across the room
I see the sparkle in your eyes

I smile at you
You turn your head
You stare into my eyes

And I see you smile

Its in the way I look at you
Its in the way I smile
Its in the way I talk to you
Its in the way I try
I try to be next to you
Try to be close to you
Try to be with you

Its the simplest truth you ever heard
I love you

I hold your hand
Walking down the street
I feel the sparks
I feel the heat

Its like a fire in my soul
I could dance all night
I could smile

I could do this forever

Its in the way I look at you
Its in the way I smile
Its in the way I talk to you
Its in the way I try
I try to be next to you
Try to be close to you
Try to be with you

Its the simplest truth you ever heard
I love you

And late at night
You hold me close
You whisper truths
Into my ear

We move to each others rythms
We are each others beats
And in the dark

I see you smile

Its in the way I look at you
Its in the way I smile
Its in the way I talk to you
Its in the way I try
Try to be next to you
Try to be close to you
Try to be with you

Its the simplest truth you ever heard
I love you

And no matter what life throw at us
Your still gonna be my number one
No one could ever replace
The butterflies

Or the way you smile

Well if this poem is under the song category, it should rhyme every once in a while. Like i said before, this is a great poem but should be under free verse not song.I do agree that the metaphors arent the best and grammar could be improved. Its a great poem, not so great of a song.

I'm a musician and I really didn't see a lack of metre to be a problem in this piece. I was able to snap to every line and apply a rhythm to it. And I don't see what you mean by "where the words should rhyme." No one said it has to rhyme. Some of the best lyrics don't. I think the issue with this piece is gramatical errors and unclear or cliche metaphors. But don't get me wrong; I like it.

And also, I'm sorry to say this but..... Your song doesn't seem to have flow to it. There isn't a definite rhythm of where the words should rhyme or anything. It seems like it would be more suitable under free verse. It's a really good poem..... But to me it seems like an ok song

I like it but I can't seem to find the beat or rythem. I write sad things as well but I also write happier stuff. You should check out some of my work. I think you would enjoy it. I love how simple your song is. Not overdone. Well done

Wow, this is incredible! I love the line "It's the simplest truth you ever heard, I love you." You're a great writer. Would you mind reading my song, "The You I Thought I Knew" or "What Are You Waiting For"?

Okay, wow! This was amazing. I'm actually looking for a song I could possibly use in the novel I'm writing and this is the PERFECT song. Would you mind if I use it? Of course, giving you credit. This is just.. So amazing. LOVE IT!
