When you walk with your friends,
I spot you and stop.
You smile from faraway,
I smile, nod and turn the other way.
I cross my fingers and walk a few steps,
Cross my fingers to turn around,
And find you finding me.
You've noticed the way I look at you,
With so much desire in my eyes,
So much love, my want to protect.
Speaking upto you about these moments we share,
Its hard, its not like we want it to be.
When you're around things are hard to spell.
When you're around, the air gets heavier, its hard to breathe.
I've never felt all of this,
This is new, this is what you do to me.
Speaking upto you about how I feel,
Is not as easy as spilling a few words
and parting a few smiles.
Speaking upto you about how I feel,
Is like running a mile,
Walking through fire,
Its drowning in the ocean,
Its getting high without any smoke.
Its next to impossible.
Its turning back time.
To spend sometime alone with you,
A dream in itself,
You've two on each side at all times,
The way you giggle and pass by,
I've avoided excusing you for a while,
But not today, with my head held high,
Your favourite blossoms with a romantic tinted card.
I'm walking again, counting steps to your heart.
Your smile that welcomes all never meant to happen,
My heart pounds again, giving me that same feeling.
Stuck in limbo, I stutter with a hey,
The world stops again, making me realise.
You in my arms are seconds away.
I try to overlook all this nervousness,
" My beautiful lady,
I've waited for this moment,
I want to tell you how much I love you,
I want you to accept my care, let me protect you,
From all that ever tries to treat you in the wrong way,
Its not a moment thing, I need you for a lifetime,
You let you know all that I have in my heart,
To explain all the times I've smiled and walked away.
For all the times I've ignored you,
I've always just wanted to tell you this,
I love you.. "
I blinked twice and noticed you twitch,
Had my fists clenched so hard, I dug my nails in them,
All this,
All of this,
And all you said was,
" Took you long, I love you too. "
And you had me on my knees.
