Zero Centimeters

Gaps are zero centimeters
Lining up shoulders at a distance that won't hide

I know
When I put into words what I want to achieve, it seems
I can get a little closer
The harder I erase and rewrite
The more my feelings grow
My side profile changes into an adult

Gaps are zero centimeters
Guess what it's about, my wish
The first time is always
The most memorable, right?
That's why I like you

I know
I'm surprisingly easy to understand
Nothing special about me
Don't look away from my eyes
Let's match our answers to what we think
Before time turns into chime

Gaps are zero centimeters
Lining up shoulders at a distance that won't hide
The first time is always
The one thing you don't want to forget, right?
That's why I like you

In the twilight lodge's backyard
The overlapping shadows easily disappear
I want the truth, not intentionally or accidentally

There are many gaps
I hope you'll notice them over time
The thing that lies ahead
When I reach out my hand
Is what I'm looking forward to the most
So I'm waiting for you
With my hand outstretched
