I try to keep my distance
to build up some resistance
but you always seem to manage
to be my disadvantage.
Whenever my thoughts wander
my mind begins to squander
because the only thing I see
is you smiling, right at me
But whenever you’re around
I can’t hear another sound
and as my heart begins to race
I just wait for your embrace
With your mood you keep things light
always grinning, day to night.
Optimism is in your genes
I can never fight your means.
One of these days you may know
how much I try not to show.
You certainly did make it hard
to keep up a tiny guard.
Even that will soon disperse,
to keep you out feels much worse.
because now, you’re more than a crush
and I can no longer hush.
