As I walk in casually tardy,
And mingle around this lame ol party,
Everyone a nameless face.
Scanning, I land upon your grace.
Slowly I walk nearby,
With anxiety, daring to say hi.
But just as I most feared,
You don\'t even know I\'m here.
Your presence causing my skin to shiver,
Just as quickly as pulling a trigger.
So easily you blow me away,
Just by casting a glance my way.
Longing for the day I can feel your touch,
Desperately praying for just as much.
Weary of all the practicalities,
How can I make this a reality?
My heart belongs to you,
Yet you haven\'t got a clue.
Watching you stand and talk amongst the crowd,
My voice wanting to scream out loud.
Please, won\'t you come talk to me?
Let me be the one you seek.
Let it be my hand you touch,
My hair you casually brush.
Tuck it back behind my ear,
As you stand all so near.
So near that your breath,
Can be felt blowing across my neck.
So near that your captivating eyes,
Can gaze longingly into mine.
Longing for the day I can feel your touch,
Desperately praying for just as much.
Weary of all the practicalities,
How can I make this a reality?
My heart belongs to you,
Yet you haven\'t got a clue.
