I tell myself
We're just a game
That there's nothing
Our flirting is empty
You wanted my number
The call won't come

I tried to tell them
The friends who see stars
Instead of blinding sun
They say I'm crazy
I need to give you credit
You don't play games

You're beyond that stage
Males don't see the same
Or think to say
Sorry I can't make it
They point out things
I don't want to trust

How you smile at my name
The way you walk by
So I know you're there
Your need to touch me somehow
Barest touch of my hand
Or tickling my sides

I feel like puberty
Trying to figure out guys
If women make a point to touch
They're interested in the guy
Is it vice versa too
I never learned the rule

You spend more time in my eyes
Than staring down my shirt
Everything about you
Is different from what I know
I wish I could let it show
But I'm tired of losing


I was a poet once and now I flounder in shallow water searching for my lost voice.

Thanks everyone for all your support. I'm so used to being treated like one of the guys all this feels awkward. All I can do is write it out and hope it makes sense.
