We were sat in a corridor
Two ciders beside you and
Empty space with me.
You looked me in the eye
In the midst of a conversation
I love you - said with a laugh
Without realising it
My eyes lit up.
I hate that.
You're teaching me the meaning
Of cheapening your words.
But you still ask what I think.
You ASK about my thoughts and views
not many people do that
So I forgive you.
I thought I was done with princes -
royalty and pompous nature
Once again I'm wrong.
You demanded that I leave you
The puzzle
Alone.
But why do you stay?
Why do you stay and ask?
You and I are alike, I'm sure
and if you want me to leave
show me the truth, show me I'm wrong.
Because if you are me
I think you're just scared of opening up
Scared of being hurt.
True, I may hurt you.
You have no rhyme or reason to trust me
All I can do is wait for a chance-
And ask that you let me in to try.

And ask that you let me in to try.
can't I at least know?
