"I am coming to terms with the fact that loving someone requires a leap of faith, and that a soft landing is never guaranteed.” - Sarah Dessen (in "This Lullaby")

Chasing After You

With just one simple smile

I feel my heart soar through the air

I can’t control these feelings I have

Even when you aren’t here

This unimaginable effect you have on me

I don’t know how you do what you do

‘Cause it’s pulling me right into your arms

If only you noticed, if only you knew

That there’s a girl out there

Whose heart you’re making whole again

With all this recent happiness I’ve been feeling

I don’t want whatever we have to end

But I hope you realize soon

That I want to be more than friends

I want to make all the other girls jealous

When I reach down to hold your hand

I want to rest my head on your shoulder

And watch you take my breath away

I want you to spin me around in circles

And make me forget about my day

Just say the word and I’ll be there

But for now, I’ll be waiting for you to

Please don’t take too long though

Don’t know how much longer I can last chasing after you.
