We all have all sides

I look at you and smile, you quickly turn away

Because you smiled back at me and had nothing you could say

You believe you’re awkward and sorely out of place

But I don’t believe a word of it, I see beauty, I see grace

Forgive me if I stumble, I’m trying to impress

I’ll need a daily dose of pills to calm this pounding chest

Inside there is a patter steady, loud and clear

But it soon will be sporadic whenever you are near

You are calming although stirring and yet easy on the eyes

I want something more from you I’m not like other guys

Yes I want to take you out and walk you to your door

I would not make a move I have respect for a goodnight and nothing more

I could go on about who I am and what that all entails

But I prefer the little things I see in you, sparing no details

The way you wear your make up yet I’ve never noticed once

Because once I see your gorgeous face I am helpless I am stunned

I made a resolution, at the beginning of this year

That I might make you smile, a grin from ear to ear

You said good luck I hope you have fun with that, doubting with resistance

Didn’t take me long at all, I am nothing if not persistent

You told me you aren’t looking for anything at this point in time

In fact you were quite adamant as if it were a crime

But if you met the real me a side that no one knows

Meeting someone who could sweep you away, away from your repose

Though if this does not sway you then all is well that ends

I will not be broken for if it’s broke it mends

I only share this all, because it’s a shame if left unsaid

If you have a response for me than a response I await and dread
