Optical Hopes and Illusions

Optical Hopes & Illusions

Excuse me I don’t mean to presume
But your eyes follow me wherever I go
If this warmth that I feel
When you look at me
Isn’t simply one sided
I thought you should know.

Pardon me babe I can’t take anymore
The touch of your hand is too much to bear
I might just lose control
Do something mad
It’s overwhelming this hope
When you smile at me dear.

Is it too late love, have you given up?
I’m sorry it took me so long to decide
This love is so new but
Our friendship so rare
And I fear losing you boy
So my heart I would hide.

Am I assuming too much?
Was I blind?
I’m torn in two directions;
What should I choose?
You’ve been my friend
And you’ve been my guide
Just tell me please
I am lost in the woods.

Could you give me a hint, give me a clue
There’s only so much waiting I can take
Do I dare kiss you?
What would you do?
Should I risk my everything
For my heart’s sake.
