Crushed

Crushed

When I see you from behind

It makes my stomach flutter

And when we meet up face to face

My hands just turn to butter

But somehow I still love it

The way you look at me

I want to tell you how I care

And how yours I want to be

But a lump comes to my throat

It makes it hard to talk

I’m drowning and I need to float

I give a little squawk

I want you to love me

But silence then ensues

I stare down at my knees

You look down at your shoes

And although my silence spreads

Throughout eternity

I’m happy to look up

And see you smile at me.
