Is there really a connection
Is it all here in my head?
When I hold my breath and smile
over something you have said.
When I hear the purr, of your voice
laugh at words that leave my mouth,
and look into your deep eyes
but feel the stir down south
Is my skin supposed to crackle
Just because you are too near
Should I really watch you drinking
And feel jealous of your beer
Am I wrong to think you’re flirting
Are you only being nice
Am I reading too much into this
Is there really no entice?
Should the outbreak of goose bumps
be hidden from your eyes
Ought I shield you from my smiles
And all escaping sighs
Must I stem what comes natural
Apply more self control
Slap some sense in to me
Ignore my giddy soul
Shall I hold myself back tighter
Not let myself persist
Am I supposed to just pretend
that nothing here exists.
Could you tell me I’m imagining
Something that’s just not there
Tell me very blatantly
It’s not like that you care
Can you please confirm for me
I’m just like every friend
Someone to confide in
another ear to lend
If you will, please show me
The folly of my ways
My foolishness, stupidity
Please pull me out this haze
You could soften it with humour
Just say it out the blue
Should you?
Would you?
Could you?
Tell me you don’t feel it too
