Showtime

Excited, awaiting, the time finally came
When you walked through the doorway my heart burst aflame
I took a deep breath to stay calm and keep cool
While inside I was acting the romantic fool

Dreaming you'd kiss me when you saw me there
Your arms wrapped around me with no space to spare
Reserved and collected I'd pretend to be
But you wouldn't know what you couldn't see

Why were we sitting so far apart?
If you were by me you'd hear from my heart
A steady strong beat that pulsed through my chest
Pulling me nearer apart from the rest

"Can I draw closer, to be by her side?"
"The closer the better," desire replied
"Touch accidentally?""Perhaps you will, or
Maybe she'll wink at you, that's better still."

You're with me in essence my lilac, my love
It's not the ideal but it helps me write of
My hopes and my dreams that we'll be together
Those thoughts remain timeless, they'll last for ever
