You do it to me every time you move towards me with that flirtatious intention
I’d pass out if I didn’t laugh off the nerves that you get off on touching
As if reading my mind, your finger traces down my arm setting me off
My system shocked by your finger’s brazen invitation to return the favor freezes in place
Finally when the alarms in my head die down I come back
To touch, to hold, to kiss you quickly before my courage takes leave
Such a simple thing to do, I ask you a question with one longing look
Now you get where I’m going with this
Call me selfish, but I’ve wanted you in so many ways that I couldn’t even begin to list
My attention to your every detail has become a full time job
It takes almost every ounce of energy to stand my ground and oppose the urge to hide
As you approach me I can’t help but to lose my cool
You say, “You look lost.”
And all I could say was the truth
There is no map that could guide me away from your gaze
If ever there was one weakness worth exploiting,
I’d see no shame in displaying the way you make me feel
You feel so real wrapped in my arms under the layers of discovery we’ve come to find
Now I feel as though my existence has a purpose as your eyes follow me around the room
I can see the words running through your expression as I draw closer to you
I listen to the words that you seek and simply say, “You love me.”
Now you’re the one that is shocked for once
In your hurry to sort through your feelings, one slips out
Before you know it a shy smile grows from end to end on your face
May you have something about which you can smile?
May I be that thing, if only for a while?
I’d pass out if I didn’t laugh off the nerves that you get off on touching
