You say you don’t know how to feel,
Or how to care,
But I’m here to tell you,
Even a pretty girl can feel.
Stop, listen, absorb, feel.
You have so much to offer and you hide it away,
But I have seen the door,
And I can hear the music behind it,
The sweetest sounds I’ve heard.

You don’t like filters,
Well I’m telling you to get rid of yours.
Drop down the wall,
Let someone in,
Take a chance.

Your thoughts dart here,
Dart there,
But I am here to tell you,
I will slow down April.
Stop, listen, absorb, feel,
For just one minute,
And you’ll find it is easier than you thought possible.

Share, experience, learn,
Life is all about learning through experiences,
How can you experience everything alone?
Who would you have to share memories,
Because happiness is only real when shared.

I like you,
And you like me,
And boy and girl like each other,
But where does it go?
What does it mean?
Who decides?
We do.
I like you and I am glad to know you,
Not just the typical yes I know who you are and you’re very pretty and I would like to kiss you now.
No, I am glad to know you, to know how you think, and why you think that.
You are special, and you know it,
It is not a bad thing to recognize that,
yes, You are a beautiful individual and you have a lot to offer,
but until you let someone in fully,
no one will be able to appreciate how truly special you really are.
So take a chance,
Be bold,
And remove the filter.
I have removed mine.
My door is open, and the music is cool and inviting.
I want to stop, listen, absorb, feel, share, experience, and learn.
With you, and from you.
And I will slow down Abril,
If given the chance.

You have boys at your heels,
You manipulate them,
You have fun,
And you’re still alone.
You may like it,
But this is nothing sustainable.

It may be easy to be alone,
As you said,
When there’s constantly someone there willing to coddle you
It’s not hard,
lacking caring, or feeling, or sharing.

I like this functional thing we have going,
You said that yourself.
Well it’s only functional if you care, feel, or share.
I know you, get to know me.
I want to feel exposed and naked
every time I talk to you.
When I look at you,
I want to pools our eyes,
to be the infinity mirrors of our souls.

So stop,
listen,
absorb,
feel,
share,
experience,
learn,
know.
And let someone in,
Please let me in.
