You..you...

You got me feeling like I’m floating on air every time I see your face.

I get nervous, shy, quiet, self-aware.

Being around you makes me feel like I have to have more expectations of myself,

I need to be more self-aware what I look like, what I smell life, or even what I do.

I don’t like feeling that way,

But I cannot help it with you,

You belong with me sweety

Your heart, mind, and soul belongs to me, even though you don’t feel it,

It totally belongs to me.

I want you to notice me, I want you to care for me like how you care for your status on 2k17.

I want your love and affection to be unconditional.

I want you to think of me, doesn’t have to be major. Just think about me and check and see if I’m okay.

I liked you for four years now.

You know because I told you plenty of times, but I still feel like I’m getting played.

My heart is on strings and you’re just pulling them left and right.

I notice the small things about you, even the way your eye glistens when you play the game.

The way you get focused you bite your lip or you smile when you are talking to your friends.

Sometimes you glance over at me with a straight face: wishing it was a smile.

You like to speed down the road reaching 100 mph when there are no cars.

Even though there are so many things, sometimes you still make me feel like shit at times.

I feel like I’m wasting time, and I should just cut you off. But…

I know how that goes. I ignore you but I come back to you.

I wish I could either stay or leave and let that be the final decision.

No coming back or Not leaving your side. But I could never pick…

Sometimes I wish you can pick for me.
