And There It Is. . .

If only for just one night
Instead of holding my pillow tight
Reminiscing about the good times
Reevaluating passion’s past crimes
Adding up how long it’s been since
I had love in the present tense
Can I spend some time with you
I know it’s only been a week or two
Since you spotted me in the sea of faces
And I bumped into you at a few places
Since we exchanged numbers
Started getting to know each other
Can I get to know you a little better
I wouldn’t particularly call this a love letter
Since I’ll never send it and you won’t receive
But deep down in my heart I believe
That you’ll get the message intended
And no feelings will be offended
Because I’m shy and sensitive like that
I don’t always lay out my emotions flat
Don’t always serve up my desires and wishes
On silver platters and china dishes
I hide them until I feel it’s safe
Then push them over nervously on a paper plate
I’m a simple kind of girl, with simple needs
With a heart warmed by the simple things
The corny stuff that most people claim cliché
I actually like being treated that way
Like door opening and puddle covering sometimes
I’m a little old fashioned, not looking for slick lines
And there it is
Never married, no kids
No drama, no lies
No secrets lurking behind these eyes
No hidden meanings, no lofty thoughts
Just my heart, that’s all I’ve got
I’m ready whenever you are
And this can only go as far
As both of us will let it
Any decision you make you won’t regret it
So if your interested let me know
And if not, then let me go
