I look at you and smile, you quickly turn away
Because you smiled back at me and had nothing you could say
You believe you’re awkward and sorely out of place
But I don’t believe a word of it, I see beauty, I see grace

Forgive me if I stumble, I’m trying to impress
I’ll need a daily dose of pills to calm this pounding chest
Inside there is a patter steady, loud and clear
But it soon will be sporadic whenever you are near

You are calming although stirring and yet easy on the eyes
I want something more from you I’m not like other guys
Yes I want to take you out and walk you to your door
I would not make a move I have respect for a goodnight and nothing more

I could go on about who I am and what that all entails
But I prefer the little things I see in you, sparing no details
The way you wear your make up yet I’ve never noticed once
Because once I see your gorgeous face I am helpless I am stunned

I made a resolution, at the beginning of this year
That I might make you smile, a grin from ear to ear
You said good luck I hope you have fun with that, doubting with resistance
Didn’t take me long at all, I am nothing if not persistent

You told me you aren’t looking for anything at this point in time
In fact you were quite adamant as if it were a crime
But if you met the real me a side that no one knows
Meeting someone who could sweep you away, away from your repose

Though if this does not sway you then all is well that ends
I will not be broken for if it’s broke it mends
I only share this all, because it’s a shame if left unsaid
If you have a response for me than a response I await and dread
