To My Friend

There’s something about your personality
That’s has me quite intrigued
I try and find a thought
But it’s one I can’t conceive 

I think of you more than I actually should
I’ve developed these feelings for you
Though some still misunderstood
I wish you’d help me understand them
I really wish you could

The sight of your name gives me butterflies
The sound of your voice gives me chills
Just the mere thought of your touch
And my nerves can stand still
I am drawn to you 
Like a moth to a flame
I try to resist
But the ending is always the same

I try to reason with myself
But I can’t hear over the beating of my heart
Or it may be other feelings 
And I can’t tell them apart 

I know what I’m saying isn’t right
But I can’t help the way I feel
The idea of you in my head
Continues to spin like a wheel

I don’t know if I should be telling you
What I feel inside
I figure it would be best to let them out
But I really can’t decide

I hope this doesn’t make you think less of me
What I’ve told you thus far
I hope it doesn’t change
How things between us are
