Just a Hunch

by Peter Williams   Mar 31, 2006


As I toss and turn in my bed,
So many things run through my head,
Like you and the way you smile,
I hope this feeling lasts for just a little while.
Oh how I yearn to stare into those eyes,
I hope that you can see through this disguise,
I dream about that first kiss not at night but in the day,
I clutch my hand into a fist as I throw my cig away.
I'm afraid...
Afraid to love and afraid to hate,
I still dream about our first date,
Take my hand in yours and whisper in my ear,
Tell me what I want to hear so my worries will disappear,
It's just a whisper...
It's just a kiss...
While I fade away I start to reminisce,
About how things are and were.
Something's there but how do I tell?
I think I must be under your spell.
When our eyes met for that brief second...
I thought "what if?"
I would've walked right over that cliff.
So here I am again in that same room,
It happened to me so many times,
So much poetry but not enough rhymes.
Time is a river and history repeats,
Here I am driving down these familiar streets.
My heart beats once or twice,
And I've run out of advice.
It's just a whisper...
It's just a kiss...
It's just a feeling...
That I will soon miss.
My confidence has been shattered once before,
But none of that mattered as I leave this door,
It is just a hunch I have,
Should I roll the dice?
I'm afraid...
I am afraid of blinking,
I am being lazy,
I know what you are thinking,
That this all seems crazy.
It's just a whisper...
It's just a kiss...
Let me gather up my courage,
Because I know that love does exist.
