Tongue Tied

Trying to find the words
Trying to speak my thoughts
They try to come out
But my voice gets lost

Your presence is so powerful
The thought of you corrupts my mind
Whenever I try to talk to you
I get so tongue tied

Too shy to walk up to you
Too persistent to walk away
I get the courage to start
But then I don't know what to say

Is it because your touch is so gentle?
Is it because when you look into my eyes,
My mind gets so messed up,
That you've got me tongue tied
