Whispering Sweet Nothing

Your father said you're sick
 was that a lie or just another trick?
Every time I ask you out you have some excuse
 you know I love you, why this ruse?

When we first met you were so sweet
 as long as I gave you flowers, chocolate treats,
whispered loving phrases, kissed your lips, rubbed your feet.

 So whats happened now, 
Is there nothing I could say
 that could make you come out and play?

I'll play your game,
 speak your name,
give you candy and flowers every day
 whispering sweet nothing till I'm old and gray.

This is so sweet and romantic and sad at the same time. Don't chase after someone who doesn't deserve your chocolates and foot rubs <3
