PATIENT LOVE
in my mind
all the time
do i want to
get you out?
can't eat
can't sleep
can't breathe
till i have you
but will i ever?
why do you like me
when no one else does?
like but not love
for me it is the latter
will you ever feel
the way i feel for you?
how my stomach
is never settled
it's like melted butter
sloshing around in there
not tight like it was
when you were not there
and my throat's never right
always dry or too wet
with the lump there
never there before
but now it is
and my heart's actin funny
always skipps a beat
when i think of you
and it always beats faster
when i talk to you
oh how i love to talk to you
but i'm sometimes nervous
don't want to say
what you don't want to hear
your voice
oh, your voice
it's angelic
soothing
calming
sexy
yet mysterious
it's so beautiful
just as you are
Mona Lisa times a million
no one compares to you
don't have these feelings for me
do you?
give it time
and if you do
i'll always be here
avaliable
waiting
wanting
thinking of you
hearing your voice
echo in my mind
all the time
there's no way i want to
get you out.
