You tuck my hair behind my ear
All I can feel is your presence near
So I look away
Unable to look into your eyes
Fearing they would reveal what I try to hide
You tell me I look pretty for the fifth time
And I silently pray you don't see how your words affect me
You touch my hand and hold it for a while
We just sit there at the back of the bus
With you holding my hand and I'm too afraid to pull away
Because a part of me enjoys this intimacy
But at the same time I'm so confused by everything so I just look away
while you stare at me like I'm the most beautiful girl you've ever seen
We all have holes right through our hearts
I'm sure you've got them too
But it's funny how the hole in mine
Is shaped a lot like you
Your words are the sweetest constellations
That swept across the midnight sky
And now I'm in awe
Because God knows I've never craved attention
Not until I tasted yours...
