Opposite Sides of the Universe

He walks across the room to me

And I slowly start to lose the ability to breathe

As he sits down and starts to talk to me

I realize that I have no idea what he is trying to say

"Why do you like him?" they all ask

Do they not know that I ask myself that every day?

We are on opposite sides of the universe,

how could I fall for someone like him?

From his side of the universe,

Everything seems so clear

He is always so assured

While I am always questioning

From the day of that party,

When he wouldn't talk to his usual crowd

He talked to me and my friend

He left his side of the universe to find me

Could this mean something?

I wish that I could understand him

Understand his perspective

from his end of the universe, opposite to me

"Why do you like him?" my friends like to ask

I guess the words "I don't know" aren't a good enough answer

To this simple question

That I cannot answer

He sits there, on his end of the universe

He is never at a loss for words-

Which is kinda funny because words are not his strong suit

I guess they aren't mine, either

He still sits there, next to me

Talking away, I still have no idea what he is saying

We could talk the day away when we are together

From his side of the universe, he smiles back at me
