"...and you were like a good cup of coffee, super strong and sweet as pie, i wonder, 'why can't i taste you why can't i make you mine?'''
You're quiet, unassuming and humble. A perfect balance between intriguing and uncomplicated. Your very presence makes me giddy like a schoolgirl on crack. The conversations I have with you are always engaging. Your gaze warms me. Always so kind, considerate, polite and affectionate. We hit it off the moment we were introduced. You genuinely enjoy my company--I can tell because I make you smile a lot. I like you more and more each time and I love it that we get along so well. We'd make a totally hot couple...the kind that people see at restaurants and envy.
So it kinda sucks for me to realize that you're not "the one."
This is an ode to my one hopeless crush--another Mr. Not Right Now. Thanks for making my happy hour(s) "happy."
i have one heart
and it is waiting
and i have one mind
y'know it's always changing
and i have two eyes
and they can see that we can't be
when we met
i was running on the empty in this crazy, crazy town
was kind of just hanging around
laughing it up and riding it out
and you were like a good cup of coffee
super strong and sweet as pie
i wonder "why can't i taste you--
why can't i make you mine?"
you have everything i want at this time
this one time
they say that things are meant to happen
so i need a reason,
a reason to stay
because now i'm breathless
i should just turn my back on you
and i should walk away
because if i bet all i have on you
i'll lose
