There's a song I sing every time
and your name just comes to mind
I can't help but realise
I'm starting to fall in
deeper each time.

Each time as our eyes meet
even as our gazes are fleet
I can't help but smile
each time we're closer by a mile.

But I keep running away
to prevent my emotions from going astray,
I don't want them to be known
so I hide them inside,
not to be shown.

Each grin you make when you tease me
each eyeroll I give when it's not funny
and each meal we have like family
makes me feel more welcomed
as days pass us by.

I never had night walks in years
but you took me on one
regardless of how short the distance
the peace and tranquility
and just the two of us
was beyond serenity
and happiness.

I sometimes overly speak my mind
tossing in an overdose of lime
a sourness that laces this bond
with yet more awkwardness
to mend beyond.

Frazzled, confused and conflicted
I purse my lips in silence and fear;
fear that you'll stay far away,
if I took the lock on my lips away.
