Me?
I've never really been in love before
I've only had a little taste
I know I've felt strong feelings upon a time
But those always seem to have gone to waste
I'm not sure where I stand nowadays
From a distance, maybe I'd give it a try
The fear of belonging is crippling, however
It gets harder and harder to find a quality guy
These fantasies, they play in my head
Ideas of how I want it to be
20 going on 21
I realize that not everything is always what it seems
But to hold a hand must be special
To hug and embrace must feel so warm
To kiss a pair of lips must feel like magic
The center of the universe, the eye of a storm
It must be quite distracting
Investing so much into another heart
Losing track of the world around you
Always together and never apart
The butterflies must feel so intense
The tickling must be too much to bear
This feeling of loving another is so foreign though
No matter if my heart is on the sleeve I wear
I watch those around me live it all out
It's satisfaction enough I suppose
To feel love vicariously
Indirectly, impersonally, but still so close
I guess I'm in no rush
"There's all the time in the world," you state
But I keep in mind that life is short
And I still have yet to go on my first date
I conjecture it just may happen
But then again, it also may not
There really is no way to be certain
Perhaps it all is simply of naught
And perhaps it's all one big lie
Perhaps that is the sole truth
But the willingness to find out exactly
Would hypothetically lay between me and an unreferenced "you"
Me?
I'm waiting patiently to fall in love
It's one story I have yet to tell
You must be out there somewhere
This stranger I'll one day know so well
