Around

When you’re not around,
My Heart sinks into the ground.
Deep into the soil,
Though my love shan’t recoil.

When you are around,
The rooms filled with sound,
A thumping beat,
I squirm in my seat.

You make me nervous,
Blood rushes to the surface,
To my flesh on my face,
You make my heart race.

If only you could see,
These things you do to me,
Maybe then you’d understand,
How much I just want to hold your hand.

I long for you to be around,
To hear the sound,
Of your voice, your laughter,
Do you realize you’re the one I’m after?

I want you here,
Not far but near,
But who am I kidding you are there.
And I don’t know if you even care.

I just want you to say,
You love me that way,
But if you don’t it’s all still real,
Do you feel the same feelings I feel?
