Love Napkin

~In this poem Lisa wrote the first stanza, I wrote the second, then her, then me...so on and so forth. =)

Also, we wrote this in two people's perspectives. She's the girl, I'm the guy...Lucky me, eh? lol

She's also the one who came up with the amazing title =) ~

People around us laughing, my mind focused on you,
You're strumming on your guitar; I don't know what to do,
Your hair falls in your eyes, and you look up to see me,
I turn my head embarrassed, I wonder did you see?

Lost in the transition,
Between reality and fantasy,
Mindlessly picking at my guitar,
And that's when I see you from afar,

It's not my fault I can't help but stare,
At you gracefully playing over there,
On the napkin in front of me,
I write your name for all to see.

I see you quickly look away,
And it pains my fragile heart,
But you're too busy with your writing,
To notice my pain constricted eyes.

Lost in my minds wonder,
The atmosphere around us so awake,
When all I want are your arms around me,
My heart is open..ready for you to take.

Everyone around seems to disappear
As my thoughts close in around you,
I want to save you from this world,
Hold you, and hide you from the darkness.

We're in a room full of people,
But all I can see is you,
You're the light at the end of my tunnel,
I stand up an the people I push through

One second I'm sitting there staring,
Battling what I should do,
I just don't know if it's right,
Is it my destiny to be with you?

I just need to hear your sweet voice,
I just need to say Hello,
I need to stare into your eyes,
While you play your sweet song, so mellow.

Your angelic voice is something I need,
I couldn't live without you by my side,
My music, without you, is nothing,
It would cease to exist, I would be dead inside.

A simple hello slips from my tongue,
A lump in the back of my throat,
And from my pocket falls the napkin,
And you see all the thing's I wrote,
"I love him so, He loves me not, how will I ever live,
Just to spend one day with him, my own life I would give"

I get lost in your eyes for a short while,
Until I see it; that napkin with all your writing,
I feel the tears form in my eyes,
And I have to ask, "Is this a joke?"

He now knows my inner most feelings,
What is a young girl meant to say?
I just want to lie and turn around,
But the look in his eyes forces me to stay.

My heart just won't stop pounding,
I swear it's about to explode out of my chest,
These past moments have seemed like an eternity,
And I keep wondering what she's going to say next.

I begin to talk but stammer my words,
"I..I..I'm sorry," Is all I can handle now,
The look on your face makes me speak more,
"I was going to tell you..someday..somehow.."

You're trembling now,
And that's something I can't take,
So I tell you I know, it's ok.
And wrap you in my arms, in a tight embrace

In your arms I'm melting,
You have stolen my heart for sure,
Is this fate, destiny..love,
Or will I get hurt once more.

I slowly lift your chin,
And make a promise with my eyes,
"I love you now and forever will,
I'll always be by your side"
And I kiss you gently, and you sigh

Your lips so gentle and soft,
They cleanse my soul of sin,
Your eyes so pure and hopeful,
Your mind, where do I begin,
I felt this was for years now,
And finally to day you see,
That in your arms tightly,
Is where I always dreamed to be.
