Look At Me



Look at me 
And give me two seconds of attention
Just look at me 
Let me see into those eyes of perfection  
Words I could never speak
Would be apparent on the skin of me
If you'd look at me 
You could see 
How long I've loved you 

I know it’s unconventional 
I know they speak against it
And if they asked me, I would deny it
I am so defenseless  
Like a girl with her shoe strings untied
Alone standing in the wind without her bike
Engaged in a dream world 
In my mind
Everything’s so simplified
If you’d look at me 
You could see 
How long I've loved you 

There are coffee stains on my window seal 
Melted wax on the wooden floor
A love letter in disguise 
That appears only in your allure
But I bet you'd never read it
It’d get lost in your pocket 
If I decided to surrender all my feels to a silly little pen 
And handed the ink over to be read by all your friends
Isn’t that foolish? 
But look at me
You can see 
How long I've loved you 

It’s no coincidence that I'm everywhere you are
We don’t have the same group of friends my love 
I am drawn to you like the moon in the dark 
A rose among lilies 
An emerald in the sand
There is no chance until you give me one
I have no legs until you stand
There is no voice until you speak
So please just look at me 
And articulate what you see

Until then I’ll be looking for your eyes
Maybe we’ll come in contact
And I’ll act so surprised
Give you my name and show you my eyes
Maybe then you could see what’s been on my mind
