The Game

I can't sleep at night,
I don't know what to do.
Can't wait for daylight,
So that I can see you.

I feel like a kid learning a new game.
I don't know the rules,
But I want to play, just the same.

I don't know what my next move should be,
But I do know the objective;
Get you to notice me.

I want to leave a long-lasting impression in your mind.
You will never forget me.
And someone similar, you will never find.

I don't know what I should say,
I don't know what I should do.
Everything is riding on my next play.
All I know is that I want you!
