So many times I've felt your glance
A strange little dance
Tapped out in hallways
Spun around on outside paths

I listened to your inner desire
You told us what you admire
On your silly birthday
Grown folks shouldn't be this way

I gave you your wish
And you felt moved
And finally came that truth
That I can make you warm, sweet and not aloof

You gave me a hug
An earth shattering little shrug
You pulled me so tightly to your chest
that away went my breath
You left me trembling, confused, surprised
And I know I'm trying so hard, but I'm still not wise

Things are different now
I see your vulnerability somehow
An uncertain little boy smile
Oh, that we could spend awhile
I want more, that's all I know
I dream of it, it's beautiful like fresh snow

I know I shouldn't care for you
I'm not supposed to, but I do
