It stands to reason
When you love a character
As much as I do him
Some of that would rub off
On the person who plays him
You were just a name on a list
The face that gave him life
Until the world said I would like you
In your own right
It’s the time I first met him
All over again
He just has a way
Of stealing my attention
When it’s already been claimed
And I guess it’s only natural
You would be the same
So now I find myself
Drinking in everything I can about you
Like you do when you find someone new
And everything makes me like you more
Caught up in my curiosity
I can’t see the things I ignore
The rest of the world melts away
When I’m looking at you
I watch you eat
A smile on your face
While you speak a language
I don’t understand
But I don’t care
I think I’d watch you
Do almost anything
Even without a translation
And at least now
I have a reason
To finally learn Japanese
Maybe its compounded
By new acquaintances
Planting a flag of interest
With eyes that follow me around
I try not to think about it
There’s probably nothing in it
I’ll cross that bridge if I come to it
If they take a step forward
I’ll take a hundred back in your direction
Setting themselves up for a competition
They can’t hope to win
Whether it’s you or him
You have both become the bar
All others are measured against
But the un – likeliness
Of meeting someone like you
Is something I fear I’ll need to accept
So forgive me
If I want to live in this a little longer
Dreaming of all the streets
In Tokyo we could wander
