I know we don’t know each other well
But there is something in your eyes
That makes me tingle inside
See through all of my lies

I want to get to know you better
To see if we can evolve together
To help each other through ups and downs
Try to smile whatever the weather

I know you have recently been hurt
That you still have feelings for him
But I have feelings for you
I am not saying these things on a whim

I want to hold you in my arms
To feel your skin close to mine
I don’t expect anything from you
Just being you is more than fine

I know you may not be interested
I just have to express myself
I have many big decisions to make
To improve my own mental health

I want to find a beautiful lady
To love and cherish for the rest of my life
To share ideas and stimulate each other
I am tired of living with trouble and strife

I know you have your own life path
You may not see it being close to me

I would respect you forever always
Even if you decide to set me free

I want to do what is right for my son
But I also deserve happiness too
All I am saying with this little poem
Is that I have my heart open for you

I know life is not always that simple
Relationships can be a difficult thing
But if you gave me a chance to love you
The birds in my tree would all start to sing

I want to ask you what your thoughts are
Could you ever see yourself with me?
Or am I just getting my hopes up for nothing
Barking up the wrong Christmas tree?

I know I could be undeniably wrong
Maybe I am guilty of wishful thinking
But if I don’t ask then I will never know
I would lose myself in excess drinking

I want to know what I need to do
In order to break your defences
To soften you up to the possibility
Of wearing my rose coloured lenses

I know I have now said enough
I don’t want to turn us into a race
I just want you to know you make me smile
Especially when I see your gorgeous face

Cheers!
