It's not a contest, love can't be "Won".

What do I say to you? You're standing right in front of me but the words disappear from my throat. All I can do is smile and hope you know.

You know those times when you can never find the right words? That's every time I see you. Right there standing by me, with your soft eyes and beautiful smile.

I've messed up opportunities before by being too hasty or waiting too long. I'm just afraid of what this could end up being. Afraid that it'll be nothing because I said something. But I'm only human with my fleeting emotions.

Your smile brings me joy, does mine return the favor? Do you think about me after a long day? If you do what are we doing in the confines of your mind?

When I think of us I think of your laugh, your face, your innocent glow in the backdrop of a dark world. Even though you can't see it yourself.

Could I glow for you? Do I shine as brilliant as you do?

If I only ask you one thing I'd want to know how you think of me. Because I think of you as everything, a constant reminder that I matter. that my breathing doesn't go unnoticed.

Do you miss me like I miss you? Longing for the time spent together to continue again and again?

I'll probably never know because I can't turn these thoughts into words that will reach you. I'll just smile at you as you smile back, hoping I'll find the courage to open my mouth and speak these words....

Can I have you?
