Closer (Preteen/Teen)

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.
