Logic is Futile

by Magdeline   Nov 22, 2012


My cheeks were burning
My heart was beating
My palms were sweating
What a sorry excuse

To ever even consider
That you could love me
With blue eyes that shimmer
And mine which are dimmer

A plain face to a plain girl
A girl with nothing to offer
What can she do?
Nothing to offer

But even so
I wish for you to know
That I have fallen
Fallen for you

Fallen deep
Fallen hard
I'll lose sleep
If you're ever harmed

So even if you don't accept me
I'll offer my heart
If you ever need me
I'll never be far

But for now this is fine
I'll tell you my truth
And when you asked me the time
I blurted "May I talk to you?"

Your ears turned bright pink
And you pulled on your jeans
You must hate me
I think

We walked for a bit
Before clearing my throat
I said from my heart
At least that I hope

"I've always been watching
I've always stared
I'm really sorry
But I'm really scared"

My heart bumped in my head
So it drowned out my thoughts
Of am I good enough?
Or am I not?

So I continued confessing
My mouth wouldn't stop
I went on and on
I really won't stop

"I think that you've realized
By now you must know
You're the one I love
And with that I must go"

But I couldn't leave
For he held me tight in his arms
"I can't believe you
Could love someone like me!"

"I'm always in trouble
For speaking my mind
I'm never romantic
So what could you find?"

"I've already been through this
And I don't really care
For you're the one I love
I'm no longer scared!"

And with that there we were
Hearts beating and beating
And that there we were
No more, no more leaving
