I was wondering

I was wondering what made me look twice in your direction

I was wondering how I was so caught on your every word

Why did I get shy around you

It was hard to even give a smile

But inside.. oh inside I was talking a mile a minute

I was sharing with you all of who I am

I was laughing and crying and loving and trying

To get you to see.. me

I was wondering if you would give me a chance

A chance to learn about the man you are

A chance to see behind your eyes

To let me trace your lips with my tongue

To allow me to listen to you sleep

I was wondering if I had enough courage

If I took the first step

If I held out my hand..would you take it

If I held out my heart..would you break it

I was wondering if I kiss you can I have another

And another, and another

If I asked for a hug.. can I have one…thousand

Can we watch tv and just listen to music

Can we just be…

I’ve been wondering a lot…

I’ve been wanting to ask

The strength to take that first step has escaped me

I’ve missed an opportunity once

I’ve missed that touch of your hand on my skin

I’ve missed that look in your eyes

I didn’t get to hold it enough

So I wonder… can I

Talk to you

Kiss you

Hold you

Touch you

Know you

I was just wondering….
