You Had Me at Hello-

Your face I haven't seen in weeks,

I'm sweating in misery and I hear my phone ring,
running down the stairs I find it's you.

I'm missing you so much,

The phone is all ecstatic and I can barely hear you,
I make out the words,

"Are you going tonight?"

The yes, puts a smile on my face and I could feel yours too.

Frantically I go through my clothes,
something simple,
something radiant,
something different,

What have I gotten into this time around?

The clock is ticking as I drive down town,
drama and despair fill the air,
and I wait for you.

I see you outside under the cabana.
Just as beautiful as always.
our hug lingers just a second too long

I know the signs are on and I feel this too.
We play cat and mouse all night long,
you follow me and I follow you,
and everyone knows this too.

Deny it I do,
but someone can see right through
and it's you.

Our night is just beginning,
although I feel it at the end.

We walk through Books-A-Million
almost holding hands,
We read books and looks through pictures.

and through the crowd you are the light of the room.

I've never seen a smile that can light the room like yours
Driving back to the Square I put my hands on the head rest to
find yours too.

Hands tell everything about a person,
and yours are rough from the guitar
but light and gentle all together.

I leave to my home,
where I am left alone.

Darkness creeps up from the night,
I have no one to call,
everyone is gone,

the only person I could think of is you.

What have I gotten into this time around?
You come right over,
and not a reaction do you make.

You don't awe over my families treasures
or make comments that are unnecessary.

Your eyes, always watching me,
but not in the uncomfortable way,
caring and entranced.

Would it be okay if I took your breath away?
We sat down to watch a movie,
and I felt your arm behind me,

bold? yes.
expected?no.

You hold me close,
playing with my fingers,
kissing my hand,
smelling my neck,

all the time,
it's so right
and at the same time
so very wrong,

I watch the clock so I can make my timing just right
I tilt my head to the left,
so I can see your eyes,
they are just barely open

as slowly as it happened,
so hard it is for me to remember,

I couldn't believe that it was me,
it was me you choose,

of all the girls,
you could have,
you choose little me.

You hands are entangled in my hair,
your hands are on my back,
your hands are on my neck,

I am stunned and so alive in your arms

None of that ever seems to matter when I'm holding you.
"Gentle, Gentle."You whisper.

I open my eyes too see yours closed.
This really means something to you,

Relax, relax, I breathe.

Your hands move all around,
Overwhelmed.

"Wait, I have a question."
He puts his forehead on mine,

"Why me? You can have any girl, girls who are gorgeous, and you choose me."
His eyes linger with hurt for just a moment as he tilts his head side ways.

"And your not?"
I shake my head lightly.

"Your adorable, and cute."
He pulls me in again.
and kisses me longer than before.

And I'm wasting away, away from you.
The night ends with your leaving,
neither of us can let go of the other's hand.

When you leave, everything goes back to normal,
you and I will just be friends,

no one will ever know,

You had me at hello.
