I’m skeptical on love, but stay with me

You and I were involved with each other once,

Then we never saw each other again.

Until one night at a Good Charlotte concert

Only at first, I wasn’t sure if it was you,

Because the other night,

Our two bodies were moving together,

I never got your name

I only remembered your face

In the middle of the packed crowd,

I see your auburn locks and your dress, colored like champagne and fresh oyster pearls

Wait, can it be?

Is it you?

I have to do a double take

Maybe I am hallucinating

I might have sipped a little too much wine before this event

No, my mind isn’t deceiving me

Everyone raises their cellphone back and forth

During “I don’t want to be in love”

I find myself maneuvering my way over to you

I pull my own phone out and join you

Our eyes become acquainted with each other again

At first you seem surprised, me too

Smiles quickly melt that surprise away

Before long, you and I are dancing, jumping up and down,

And singing along

I lose sight of all other people next to us

Even the band

The only one I see

In the glimmer of lights

Is you

After, I find that I’m inviting you back to my place

When I open my eyes and see you playfully strolling your fingers across my shoulder

I didn’t bother listening to self control yet again

You ask me if I believe in love

I answer,

Well, you know that song we just heard?

You hold the sheets in place and nod

For now I’m not sure

But I do believe in fun

I believe in taking chances

I believe in making mistakes

And you reply, that works

So here we are, two strangers

Who may be just a little skeptical on love

At least in the way we were taught

We’ll create our own futures

No one gets to decide what’s right or wrong but us
