I think you're wonderful in every way,
And I wish these things were simple to say.
I come to you when you're in a bad place,
And decide to give you space.

I really want you, and I just wish that you knew,
And trying to like someone else doesn't work. Because they aren't you.
Confused at sixteen, with everything about me,
Who I want to be, and my sexuality.

If you want me to wait,
Then I'll wait.
If you want me to stay,
Then I'll stay.

I don't know what you want from me,
You say that you feel safe being lonely.
I try to come in, and change your mind,
Because I'm a fighter for the one-of-a-kind.

God, Am, I close my eyes,
And see yours staring into mine.
Your presence hangs over me like a personal cloud,
I push people out of the way when I spot you in the crowd.

You think you looked "decent" today,
And if I could say what I want to say,
I'd tell you that I saw you and I caught my breath.
You looked flawless in that perfect dress.

Green-brown under blue lies,
It's my special secret to see your eyes.
Lips curving deliciously over imperfect teeth,
Only make you more attractive to me.

Your name means love, and trust me I know why.
Because when the moon hits the sky, like a big pizza pie,
I think of you, and everything you do.
Do you wonder too?

What we could be, if we gave it a chance!
I'd take your hand, and we'd dance, and dance, and dance.
Forever, like in the Labyrinth.
Because David Bowie is your favorite.

Maybe I'm not like Sam, because I don't have that part
But, I have all I can give, if I can give you my heart.
I want to hold your hand and touch your skin.
I'm scared of rejection, but I'll try for you, then I'll try again.

**And one day I will tell you.
