We always do that, don’t we?

Shrug it off like it’s nothing

Who’s going to say it first?

Remains our inner monologue  

You don’t get it, do you?

You scare me and excite me.

I know all about their stolen glances 

What are you so afraid of?

I know you wonder if I feel the same

You are intense, passionate, and raw

Since that day you peaked in my soul with your beauteous eyes,

And so have you changed gears of the engine revving within my chest

The sound of your voice, my favourite song.

With the sound of your laughter, you pull my heartstrings

I long to see you when you’re not around

And gasp for air whenever I lay my eyes on you

Snakes and ladders were fun and all

It’s not a game for me anymore 

Reach out and feel my fingertips

With one stretch my heart will wreck this cage

Your hugs my safe haven

I know, I’m probably losing my senses

I never would’ve thought I’d feel the same 

Yet here I am, caught by your love net

Why are we doing this to ourselves?

One of us is going to get hurt.

Throbbing hearts stay lurking 

At memories that were never created

Already yours and you’re already mine

Our daily mantra

he likes me, she likes me not
