if you're into me, let me know
if you let me, I will show you all the ways you're special
don't usually have this feeling... don't usually have the time
now my heart is screaming- I want to make you mine!
baby, if you're into me, just let me know

when we went to ihop
I saw it in your eyes
that hunger, that beauty- all the things I knew were reflected in mine
you were a perfect gentleman, everything I wanted

and when we did karaoke
I saw it in your eyes again
I'm not usually the type to publicly display my affection
I prefer to be more reserved
but I couldn't keep my hands off you
and you smelled so good
and you felt so good
and it felt right

when we kissed in your apartment
I saw sparks, I swear
the way you held me...
it was like we'd loved in a past life

I get that you're busy
and you don't have much headspace for me
I understand you've got things going for you
and I love that about you
but I'm not looking for casual. I want more
and I'm not used to pursuing- this is very new to me
and you're so beautiful, inside and out
and you scare me in all the best ways
I just don't get how you could be so into me
and not text back. and not respond. and put me off...

I've done this before. I'm no stranger to rejection
I can see when it's coming
and now we've downgraded
we're meeting for coffee?
and we know all the same people
and we work all the same gigs
so if you moved on, how could I show my face?
every time I look at you, I'd only see the roses I gave you
I should have known better than to pick a flower with thorns

I am so into you
I want to make you feel every bit as special as you are
I didn't even know it was possible that you could be into me
and when your roommate said you were, and that you felt the same
I had to take my chance
it's so frustrating
I have such tight locks on my heart
and to open them up, even though it's scary
I would do that for you
these chains are heavy... I don't want to put them back on

so even if you aren't into me
even if all you wanted was sex
I can be okay with that
but I can't be okay with never knowing
and I refuse to close my heart forever
I know I could love you
and I've never been in love
I know I could give you everything
but do you have anything left over to give back?

it would hurt my heart too much to not tell you what I need
it would break my heart to hear that you don't have it to give
or don't want to
and I hate having these feelings
because I know where they lead
so am I wasting my time?
you gotta tell me now. before I get any deeper.

where exactly do we stand?

Oh- so well expressed - I hope it worked out -

So heartbreaking not to be able to express ....
