Time Together

Walking streets together
Sitting side by side
Standing right behind you
Butterflies inside

I watch you for long moments
Until you look at me
And then I shift my eyes down
Not wanting you to see

That I am staring at your face
Watching as you talk
Catching that great smile
Observing where you walk

Always looking for you
You're too far away
Longing to be with you
Each and every day

I want to tell you something
Every single night
Before you go to sleep
Don't turn off your light

Until I've told you all my mind
And what I'm thinking of
Flattery? Constantly!
But also words of love
