"Play it cool"
I see that you do not see me the way yet
That my adoration for you is a given
That when i bare my soul i come off as desperate
That i cannot pretend i am not smitten
I find it odd that to get close to you
I have to pretend i do not care
That my interest will scare you away
The moment it becomes too honest
But i have always been a fool
Who doesn't know how to play it cool
And who long ago grew tired
Of not telling the truth
And the truth is i do not do it for you
I am simply not ashamed of what i feel
And if i hastily brought it up
It is because this feeling felt too real
Such is my curse as a romantic
I forget love is all about timing
But for you i will bite my tongue and wait
For the moment my love will not lead you astray.
