Gifts, Pt. 1

It's like a puzzle
To find the things you like
Or the things that remind me of you
Put all the pieces
Together in my mind
To resemble all the things that unite us two

If I could give you the world
Then you know I would
So here's these puzzle pieces
To help you lighten your mood
'Cause I know that I can't give you everything
So here's this gift to help you feel, to help you feel seen

Oh to help you feel seen

It's not enough
Just a fraction of your worth
Or at least that's how I seem to think
But your face lights up
When you take away the wrapping
You seem to think the world of this offering

If I could give you the world
Then you know I would
So here's these puzzle pieces
To help you lighten your mood
'Cause I know that I can't give you everything
So here's this gift to help you feel, to help you feel seen

And I don't want you to feel like
You have to give right back
Because my love's not superficial
Or materialistic

Yeah this is how I show affection
Keep my eye on what catches yours
Show that I will pay attention
That I love you to your core

And all these thoughts of you were triggered
From in the corner of my eye
A simple item off the shelf
Displays our friendship magnified

And with this physical representation
Of the things that you adore
Or of a memory between us
I wish that I could give you more

If I could give you the world
Then you know I would
So here's these puzzle pieces
To help you lighten your mood
'Cause I know that I can't give you everything
So here's this gift to help you feel, to help you feel seen

If I could give you the world
Then you know I would
So here's these puzzle pieces
To help you lighten your mood
'Cause I know that I can't give you everything
So here's this gift to help you feel, to help you feel seen

Oh to help you feel seen
Oh to help you feel seen
(And I'm someone who both loves and feels love deeply)
To help you feel seen
(I want to show you love with everything within me)
