On Love and Courage

Less like butterflies in the stomach
More like a bat to the ribs
Hush now
Dont forget
You asked for this
You looked a little too long
You needed a little too much
This is what you get, now
Who said love was gentle
Who said she would be kind
Just because you had the nerve
To tell her she was pretty
To tell her you fell for her
