A Poem
But is anyone?
And if so, then who?
If they read the script, they'll know
How I say your name, how I watch where you go
Why does it feel like you don't care?
Is this real or all in my hair?
What's going on under those lushes locks?
And why does it feel like we never talk?
Alone. I want to be alone with you.
But then I am, and I don't know what to do.
Act natural, be cool
But I feel your eyes melting me into a pool
I keep finding you behind doors,
Wishing I was yours
But how do you tell someone you like them when you can't speak?
And why is it so hard to ask someone if they'd like something to drink?
Why do you stop talking when I walk in?
Why is being mean the only way I get your attention?
You reach out your hand, so soft and still
And instantly I feel
Lost
And free
My heart remembers and skips a beat
But is it me you mean to repeat?
