I'm awestruck in your presence, So aware of my words, Trying to craft the perfect sentence. It works in theory, But in practice it fails. I'm too entranced by your laugh, Warmed by you words, Infatuated by your tone, How could I focus when you jest at my heart so. It's unfamiliar to me, The thought that someone could care. Yet you warm me to it, As if it's my heart you dare. I feel open for the first time in a while, With you I feel the 'myself ' I always used to see. Just...just the way you giggle... Makes me bite my lip and hold my tongue, 'Cause I'm still too scared to say it feels like love.

I love the way you giggle
I'm awestruck in your presence, So aware of my words, Trying to craft the perfect sentence. It works in theory, But in practice it fails. I'm too entranced by your laugh, Warmed by you words, Infatuated by your tone, How could I focus when you jest at my heart so. It's unfamiliar to me, The thought that someone could care. Yet you warm me to it, As if it's my heart you dare. I feel open for the first time in a while, With you I feel the 'myself ' I always used to see. Just...just the way you giggle... Makes me bite my lip and hold my tongue, 'Cause I'm still too scared to say it feels like love.
