[Sarah & Phil]

I knew exactly what love looked like…?In seventh grade

[Sarah]

Even though I hadn’t met love yet?If love had wandered into my homeroom?I would have recognized him at first glance

Love wore a hemp necklace

[Phil]

I would have recognized her at first glance?Love wore a tight French braid

[Sarah]

Love played acoustic guitar

And knew all my favorite Beatles songs

[Phil]

Love wasn’t afraid to ride the bus with me

[Sarah & Phil]?And I knew??[Sarah]?I just must be searching the wrong classroom??[Phil]?Just must be checking the wrong hallways?She was there, I was sure of it

[Sarah]

If only I could find him

[Sarah & Phil]

But when love finally showed up

[Phil]

She had a bowl cut

[Sarah]

He wore the same clothes every day for a week

[Phil]

Love hated the bus

[Sarah]

Love didn’t know anything about the Beatles

[Sarah & Phil]

Instead

[Phil]

Every time I tried to kiss love

[Sarah & Phil]

Our teeth got in the way

[Sarah]

Love became the reason I lied to my parents

[Phil]

“I’m going to… Ben’s house”

[Sarah]

Love had terrible rhythm on the dance floor

But made sure we never missed a slow song

[Phil]

Love waited by the phone because she knew if her father picked up it would be

[Sarah (Phil)]

“Hello ?” (*Heavy breathing*)

“Hello ?” (*Heavy breathing*)

“I guess they hung up”

[Phil]

And love grew

[Sarah]

Stretched like a trampoline

[Phil]

Love changed

[Sarah]

Love disappeared… slowly

Like baby teeth, losing parts of me I thought I needed

[Phil]

Love vanished like an amateur magician

Everyone could see the trapdoor but me

[Sarah]

Like a flat tire

There were other places I had planned on going

[Sarah & Phil]

But my plans didn’t matter

[Sarah]

Love stayed away for years

And when love finally reappeared, I barely recognized him

[Phil]

Love smelled different now, had darker eyes

[Sarah]

A broader back

Love came with freckles I didn’t recognize

[Phil]

New birthmarks, a softer voice

[Sarah]

Now there were new sleeping patterns

[Phil]

New favorite books

[Sarah]

Love had songs that reminded him of someone else

[Phil]

Songs love didn’t like to listen to

[Sarah & Phil]

So did I…

[Phil]

But we found a park bench that fit us perfectly

[Sarah]

We found jokes that make us laugh

[Phil]

And now love makes me fresh homemade chocolate chip cookies

[Sarah]

But love will probably finish most of them for a midnight snack

[Phil]

Loves looks great in lingerie but still likes to wear her retainer

[Sarah]

Love is a terrible driver, but a great navigator

[Phil]

Love knows where she’s going

It just might take her two hours longer than she planned

[Sarah]

Love is messier now

[Phil]

Not as simple

[Sarah]

Love uses the word “boobs” in front of my parents

[Phil]

Love chews two loud

[Sarah]

Love leaves the cap off the toothpaste

[Phil]

Love uses smiley faces in her text messages

[Sarah]

And turns out

[Sarah & Phil]

Love shits!

[Sarah]

But love also cries

And love will tell you, “You are beautiful”

[Phil]

And mean it

[Sarah (Phil)]

Over and over again (“You are beautiful”)

When you first wake up- (“You are beautiful”)

When you’ve just been crying- (“You are beautiful”)

When you don’t wanna hear it- (“You are beautiful”)

When you don’t believe it- (“You are beautiful”)

When nobody else will tell you, (“You are beautiful”)

Love still thinks… (“…”)

[Sarah]

You are beautiful

[Phil]

But love is not perfect and will sometimes forget

[Sarah]

When you need to hear it most

[Sarah & Phil]

You are beautiful

[Sarah]

Do not forget this

[Phil]

Love is not who you were expecting

Love is not what you can predict

[Sarah]

Maybe love is in New York City already asleep

You are in California, Australia, wide awake

Maybe love is always in the wrong timezone

[Phil]

Maybe love is not ready for you

Maybe you are not ready for love

[Sarah]

Maybe love just isn’t the marrying type

[Phil]

Maybe the next time you see love is twenty years after the divorce

Love looks older now, but just as beautiful as you remember

[Sarah]

Maybe love is only there for a month

[Phil]

Maybe love is there for every firework, every birthday party, every hospital visit

[Sarah]

Maybe love stays

[Phil]

Maybe love can’t

[Sarah & Phil]

Maybe love shouldn’t…

[Phil]

Love arrives exactly when love is supposed to?And love leaves exactly when love must

[Sarah]

When love arrives say,

[Sarah & Phil]

“Welcome, make yourself comfortable”

[Phil]

If love leaves, ask her to leave the door open behind her

[Sarah]

Turn off the music, listen to the quiet

[Phil]

Whisper,

[Sarah & Phil]

“Thank you for stopping by
