For Once (G)

For once, I look
And I see you there.
Not meaning to,
I catch your stare.

I’ve always thought
Of things to say,
But every time I try
I end up turning away.

I watch you now
And you smile at me.
It’s so beautiful
How much happier can I be?

You walk towards me
And we speak
The first question you ask:
How was your week?

I never know
How to react,
Yet still I do.
I try to stick to facts.

You ask if maybe
I want coffee.
I’m stunned and intrigued;
Why do you do this to me?

I hug you before I leave and
Your heart beats like a song,
In the middle of the night.
And it beats on and on.

And I wonder why
I can’t control my emotions
Around you.
It’s like swimming in oceans.

Surrounded by thoughts.
Drowning in feeling.
I can’t keep control of my heart.
My mind keeps rushing and reeling.

And for once
I listen to everything you say;
I listen to all of your jokes.
For once I didn’t stay away.



Its not my best, but I like it.

And I wonder why
I can’t control my emotions
Around you.
It’s like swimming in oceans.

This one's rhythm was off, but I really like it Kelsey!

Yeah I had to scramble for a rhyme.....
I could say:

... When I'm with you.

It might balance it a bit.
