Closer

Flawless words flood my mind

that I just can’t say

Depths and heights of “I love yous”

that just won’t go away.

Hopes for so many tomorrows,

that I didn’t plan on wanting today

Somehow he’s gotten a little bit closer

and now I want him to stay

Secrets resting on my tongue

but somehow I can’t speak

Strong enough to keep him

and now my heart is getting weak

Knowing that it can’t deny

the perfection touching my cheek

Somehow he’s gotten a little bit closer

and now I can’t be discrete

Imperfect words flood my lips,

but only my heart makes a sound.

This sudden feeling of happiness

as my feet are leaving the ground.

I can’t measure how safe I feel

just as long as he’s around

Somehow he’s gotten a little bit closer

and I’ll draw closer to this love I’ve found.
