You may not know

for I won’t tell

just how much

you've cast your spell

Stolen moments

borrowed time

shared jokes

happy lines

Thoughts of you

makes my heart race

awake and alone

I imagine your face

With just your presence

makes me feel anew

for all I want is

a moment with you

Each word you sketch

a perfect reflection

who can blame those

that steal your affection

So this game we play

you lead and I follow

while with your absence

makes me feel hollow

Don’t go so soon

stay for a while

the stirrings I hide

are less like my style

Not used to having

to fight for attention

I’m much too afraid

to ask your intention

You may never know

for I won’t tell

that it's you alone

that I have fell
