I keep lying to myself Saying I have no expectations When all I want, is that butterfly sensation Derived from one of our conversations Throughout the day I would glance at you Receiving the gift of one back, from time to time Just across from sublime sky blue eyes Nightfall bestows itself Here we are drunken eye to drunken eye Topics being discussed span a broad spectrum, as I hang on each word I'm captivated by you, yearning for more of you The morning I rise & crack my eyes You're there in front of me sound asleep Careful not to disturb I make my way outside I rolled my morning piff 6AM I watch the sunrise In tune with nature Birds sing, tree leaves rustling in the slight breeze I think about you How you looked at me Spoke with me Laughed with me How fortunate for me A morning chat It wasn't just the liquor I'm feeling something different & real Our first embrace Is sadly our last to this date I wanted to tell you I covet you I hear murmurs that hell has frozen over You have a "crush" on me? Reciprocated thoughts Couldn't be? In turn, I put the word out The feeling is mutual And this is where it begins The lie of no expectations I reached out to you In hopes for a response To ignite intrigue And one week later I still wait Even your friend asks me About how I feel I express myself a great deal Not an appeal simply honest & real I wish you would connect with me Yet, I'm beginning to think You're going to recant Realizing you never meant what you said It wouldn't be the first time You would be one of many in the line I've been fooled before And made one of myself too This why I try to lie Say, I have no expectations When truthfully I do By Axton Rupp

The Lie Of No Expectations
I keep lying to myself Saying I have no expectations When all I want, is that butterfly sensation Derived from one of our conversations Throughout the day I would glance at you Receiving the gift of one back, from time to time Just across from sublime sky blue eyes Nightfall bestows itself Here we are drunken eye to drunken eye Topics being discussed span a broad spectrum, as I hang on each word I'm captivated by you, yearning for more of you The morning I rise & crack my eyes You're there in front of me sound asleep Careful not to disturb I make my way outside I rolled my morning piff 6AM I watch the sunrise In tune with nature Birds sing, tree leaves rustling in the slight breeze I think about you How you looked at me Spoke with me Laughed with me How fortunate for me A morning chat It wasn't just the liquor I'm feeling something different & real Our first embrace Is sadly our last to this date I wanted to tell you I covet you I hear murmurs that hell has frozen over You have a "crush" on me? Reciprocated thoughts Couldn't be? In turn, I put the word out The feeling is mutual And this is where it begins The lie of no expectations I reached out to you In hopes for a response To ignite intrigue And one week later I still wait Even your friend asks me About how I feel I express myself a great deal Not an appeal simply honest & real I wish you would connect with me Yet, I'm beginning to think You're going to recant Realizing you never meant what you said It wouldn't be the first time You would be one of many in the line I've been fooled before And made one of myself too This why I try to lie Say, I have no expectations When truthfully I do By Axton Rupp
