Love this girl, is what I said, just gazing, that’s where my soul lays
One day want to make breakfast for her, omelet or a soufflé
Is it true? Does love bring pain? Do men who cheat are men who have game?
I wonder if I could take it, could I take such a strain that love bring to the brain?
A stain in my life that will refuse to be removed, stuck like glue
Smile curls from her when I see her, shocked and gasped like I had the flu
She smiles and waves at me, I can’t simply walk up to her and say “I love you”
Can’t beg her to date me or sing the blues, wish I was rich and had jewels
Girls seem to be attracted to that, that’s just shady, but you can hardly blame me
She not like that though, as the wind blows, and as the lovely flowers bloom
Nothing can stop me from not loving her hair flow, but friends say love brings doom
They all had girlfriends and they left them for the next man, they could hardly consume
I am determined, I know they wrong, believe me my love strong and consistent
I know her she is kind and lovely, when I pop the question I know she will listen
Nothing shall cloud this, not noisy friends, jealous men, or rainy clouds in the mist and....
I am shy though, what if she said no? Or worse blows me off? Am I worthy?
Maybe she will say no, if she said no, I wouldn’t push it more further…see
Although she means a lot I only want to see her happy, even if it’s not with me
Still I got to ask, got to stop contemplating, couldn’t do it today with these smeared shoes
Just got to gaze, perhaps chat while I watch her smile….at a rear view
