Confusion mixed with infatuation.
What is this feeling of intimidation?

Should I say this out loud?
I think I just did, didn't I.

Maybe she'll say no.
Even still, a heart like hers deserves to know.

This may seem sudden.
But I've stayed silent for a while.  

She came to my door, standing behind some guy.
With a glimpse of eternity in her eye.

I've saved this song.
The wait for connection has been so long. 

Everything happens for a reason.
Healing was the season.

Roses, red or yellow.
Maybe just forget-me-nots.

Bed of Roses or Scorpion Grass
This is as scary as broken glass.

If I say nothing am I liar?
If I speak, am I to be left with just these thoughts?

I've fallen into a time zone.
On the inside I'm counting no age.

Cards on the table.
Courage & conviction are now the gauge.
