"The Coffee House"


Gazing across the table,
I see the sparkle in your eyes.
I struggle for the words,
My feelings I must disguise.
There is an enourmous silence
that seems to fill the air.
The smile that is upon your face,
lets me know you care.
To what degree must I take it.
the silence is suddenly gone.
You seem to stumble for your words.
Did I do something wrong.
I want ot reach out and touch you,
My feelings I can't hide.
I want to lay down with you
and take you to my side.
How do I begin to show you
or speak of what I must say.
I don't want to become a nuissance
or ever get in your way.
I want to be there for you
and help you when I can.
If only you will let me
and also understand.
