The smile that sparks my soul
My checks burning red with my heart beating out of my chest
The feeling starts to subside
When fear starts to tear me down
Does your heart skip a beat every time we meet
Or do your feelings stop at the whites of your teeth
Technology makes me want to sing to you at every minute
But every text doesn't sound like the right tone
I hold back with the thought of smothering
This old soul knows better then to clip an angels wings
So instead I sit
Wondering if we may ever be in love
I know this could be true
And I know I could love you
But even in my souls age
The thought of a lady saying no is still my biggest fear
