Oh You

Since I first laid eyes on you
I knew for sure what it was.
The smile on your face
it brings me warmth.

The look of adventure on your face
brought me pleasure.
And your sense of determination
I crave in myself.

We grew older 
at 13 years old.
The same smart look in your eyes
almost brings me to my knees.

We grow older still
When our eyes meet I nearly die.
Your touch makes me tense
and your voice soothes me.

Oh you 
Heave tamed the beast.
I think at 16
I know a little bit about 
What I want when we're even older.

Oh you
who never leaves my mind.
Oh you
who I never want to leave my side.

Come closer to me
I don't bite now
I can't make any promises
Well only if you'd like me to.
