Long since are the days when my heart's been aflutter,
Glance 'pon your eye, and these words I can't utter.
Igniting all silence, my brain melts away,
Something about you brings on words I can't say.
Before you I mellow and have not a care,
But despite that, these feelings I cannot declare.
All this affection leads into one thought,
Something I've searched for, longed for, and sought.
Words build up inside me, and as it turns out,
They're words that forever I've tried not to shout,
I've kept them quiet, and tried not to mind,
You're all that I've wanted and needed combined.
