Hi
Hey
Hello
One tiny little word
Completely non-threatening
Or so you thought
That's what I thought too
Except for when you say it
I can't handle myself
I see that little window
And hear that 'pop'
And I know you just want to talk
But I can't.
Can't say a **** thing.
Because thanks to you
My brain freezes my thoughts
My breathing becomes irregular
My palms start to sweat
And I start to slightly shake
And just so you know
This is not a normal reaction
Especially for me
These things don't phase me
But you do
How do you do it?
You got under my skin
You make me nervous
You're so ****
And you always know what to say
And it always sounds perfect
Coming from you
In comparison
I feel like a silly schoolgirl
Stumbling over her words
And tripping over her feet
Trying to impress you
But not knowing how to go about it
Hoping that just being myself
Clumsy, childlike, passionate me,
Works for you
You surprise me
And I can't think of what to say
I feel like I need a slap in the face
To pull myself together
I've never had a problem with words before
But I feel out of my element with you
I always have a smart reply
But with you I feel like I lost my voice
Sometimes I feel shy
I am never shy
What are you doing to me?
I don’t understand what's happening
You confuse my body, my mind, my heart
My body wants you
My mind knows I can't have you
My heart doesn't know what to do
To get involved?
Or to not get involved?
That is the question
That my heart has to answer.
But it might not be completely up to me
I fear I may be involved, whether I like it or not
But what's to fear?
Except that I might be in too deep.
