constantly wondering if it's your lack of effort or mine;
either way we're both disappointed and wasting time.

you say you're waiting to hear from someone and so am I,
but are we waiting for each other or has our chance already passed us by?

i thought that what we had was real, but maybe I was mistaken
because you're talking about "her" and I'm not sure if that's me or my replacement

we are more than star crossed; it can't just be a matter of bad timing
we might be too different, maybe this no longer worth all the trying.

I'm know I'm probably just running like always; looking for the easy way out
but I'm hoping you'll stop me from going, by taking away all my doubts

Convince me you're worth staying for; make this rolling stone want to slow down
'Cause I've been around the block a few times too many, and my baggage weighs a pound.

This isn't the first poem you've inspired in me and I know it won't be the last,
but I need know is if this will end in romance or become a distant memory of our past

When you say "her" do you mean me?
During your lonely nights, about whom do you dream?

Does your breath catch if I'm standing too close?
Is my affection a drug on which you can overdose?

for the first time i am leaving my fate in the hands of another
and i stand here waiting,
hopelessly hoping

I am unnerved to the point that I consider completely turning back around and forgetting it all
because being alone with thoughts full of potential
is easier than relinquishing part of myself to you.
my naked body is nothing compared to you seeing me truly stripped down

just pour me a shot and play my favorite song.
the monsters under my bed will introduce themselves to you
and unapologetically i would let you in

but only if I turn around and know
that your hands are waiting there to hold mine

Theres an energy that you emit,
before sound leaves your lips,
that makes all the words that you can't say,
come out in a language I don't speak

I beg for answers without ever saying a word,
hoping that you can read the look in my eyes
but it's foreign to you; I can tell
