Ava Virgilio Poet Lyric

Huh?

Before today, I’ve never questioned 
The things we’d say to each other
We were just laughing, as we always do
Our friends say neither of us  have a clue

About what? About who?
I’m not stupid, maybe clueless
Actually now that I’m looking
You don’t look half bad.
Wait-

Huh?
I never wanna walk away, I find it so very puzzling, this dance around each other seems never ending, signals that.. I’m sending?
Huh?
How could I not have noticed, how much I pay attention, seemingly unseen tension, how could I have been so blind,all  this time
Huh?

I swear it wasn’t on purpose
The way the skies opened up just now, around you 
I’ve never learned this, lesson on what to do

Seen it in the movies, and hoped for it truly
Suppose I never excpected it could happen to me one day

Huh?
I never wanna walk away, I find it so very puzzling, this dance around each other seems never ending, signals I’m sending
Huh?
How could I not have noticed, how much I pay attention, seemingly unseen tension, how could I have been so blind, all this time
Huh?

All this time,was it a lie to myself
In denial, deep deep down
I feel like a clown, for not realizing it sooner
Somehow I always thought that you’d choose her
Never even put myself in that equation
Now it’s flying  out like a magician with his dove
Could it really be love….

Huh?
I never wanna walk away, I find it so very puzzling, this dance around each other seems never ending, signals I’m sending
Huh?
How could I not have noticed, how much I pay attention, seemingly unseen tension, how could I have been so blind, this time
Huh?
