Might I relate to you?

Could you feel the way I do? 

Just slip me a smile-

it's all it takes

to leave me up- wide awake

 

A flicker-

a glance

my chance- 

to lean in

a kiss

stolen- not missed

 

Days later

walking down the street

straight standing

yet shuffled feet

a nervous word

a touching hand

do not worry-

I understand

 

A smile graces your handsome face-

here our second kiss takes place

 

What others deem romantic-

you deem simple truth

a twinkle in your eye

yet with wisdom beyond youth 

 

you tell me exactly what you think

says you things to make me pink-

and still with everything I say

you hold me close still to this day

 

for this is the tale of a little "L" word

that makes hearts flutter like a bird
