When we first started to spend time together We bonded sharing all our pain All the scars we tried to hide Different cities, different countries But our stories felt the same And before I even noticed You were inside every thought You broke through every barrier All the walls I thought I’d lock I never thought that I would find love Not this soon Not when I still felt so small Not while I’m still learning how To love myself When I’m with you I feel whole Even with an ocean in the way I never knew I could be so happy Just by hearing your voice every day When I’m with you I feel seen Every part of me feels new I don’t need your body next to mine To fall in love with you We’re still not ready to share our bodies But we hold each other gently With the words our fingers and our voices send You’re a face across an ocean On a glowing little screen But you’re closer than the people Sleeping just across my street I’m still learning to be patient With this skin I’m living in You remind me I’m a woman Long before I ever win I never thought I’d feel this safe Telling someone all my truth Every frightened, hidden part Feels a little brave with you When I’m with you I feel whole Even with an ocean in the way I never knew I could be so happy Just by hearing your voice every day When I’m with you I feel seen Every part of me feels new I don’t need your body next to mine To fall in love with you One day I’ll meet you at the airport Shaking, trying not to cry I’ll run into your open arms Like I’ve known you all my life Till that day we’ve got our calls That last the whole day Two soft hearts across the water Holding on and holding tight When I’m with you I feel whole Even from a thousand miles away I never knew I could be this happy Just by hearing your name in my day When I’m with you I feel seen Every part of me feels true I don’t need your body next to mine To fall in love with you We’re not ready for the touching But our hearts already know Though there’s oceans still between us Somehow we still grow When I’m with you I feel whole In this fragile, honest light Two girls learning how to love And choosing each other every night
