Backing away in fear
of feeling wrong,
needing space to see
if this is where
he wants his heart to belong

scared of getting close
in case he’s rejected
but by him, her heart is already infected

it’s OK to get close
she wants it too
she just longs to put her arms around you

she has felt it before
and she’ll feel it some more
until you both pick up the courage
or be forever sore

it won’t help
if you back away
she’s always happy
seeing you everyday

it’s OK to feel the way you do
when you’re not around,
she misses you

the bond you both share
is greater than you think
open up, to avoid it being lost in a blink

as you sit and wonder
of what she hides inside
what you really want,
don’t take too long to decide

she’s ready and waiting
she wants to be yours
it’s only your heart
that she truly adores.
