Shy like a child
I turned away,
Yet deep in my heart,
I wanted to stay.

I wanted to see you,
the you under your skin.
I want to be inside your head,
but I'm already in.

I was afraid
therefore I couldn't see.
Even though I turned my head
you somehow got in me.

You carefully stole my conscience,
and for once I feel free.
I don't care what people think.
I don't care what they see.

You made me see that kindness
actually does exist.
You invited me to your world,
and I could not resist.

I love the way you are,
I love the words you say.
You talk to me so gently,
in such a caring way.

I love to look at you,
and I'm sorry that you don't know.
But one day I will tell you
and from there our love will grow.

You want me to say I love you,
but the timing isn't right.
You'll always be my lover
and I'll dream of you tonight.
