They call it creeping, I say loving. It's the only way for me. Filling out papers, signing waivers but I stay outside his reach. I name your mother and your father and the first pet that you keep. I know your favourite place to dine at when your check comes in each week. I know you do your wash on Sundays and you separate your whites and that your car needs a new tire because last week I laid those spikes. I've got a million polaroids with all the dates penned in red ink. I sneak a walkie-talkie in your room to listen to you sleep. You just don't know it yet but you love me and I love you the same. One day, we'll have a pretty wedding and I'll be your everything. We'll be together forever. We will never ever part. You don't know it yet but, baby, I've already got your heart!
     Some call it stalking, I say walking just extremely close behind. I'm sure if I sat down and asked you,  you really wouldn't mind. You've got those eyes that drive me crazy, and I've got eyes to watch you sleep. I brought a pack lunch and some coffee for my stakeout in your tree outside your house. Shhhh! I gotta be as quiet as a mouse or else you'll call the police. I'll get done for something stupid like disturbance of the peace. Piece by piece, I'm collecting all the things you leave behind. When you don't, I rummage through your bins to see what I can find. You just don't know it yet but you love me and I love you the same. One day we'll have a pretty wedding and I'll be your everything. We'll be together forever. We will never ever part. You don't know it yet but, baby, I've already got your heart!
