I was dumb enough to fall in love
Slowly, silently
With my lips seared tight
To watch my affection grow
and become something I didn't know
Sure, I'm still me
too damned stubborn not to be
But I can see what I'm doing
The subtle little things
just for a hint of attention
the little favors
that I now see
might misconstrue my intentions
I'm helping someone else
yet feeling pain myself
But then again
I've always been slighltly masochistic
And never one for simplistic
They all tell me not to think
just do
cause the heart knows what's true
But even my heart will flutter
and plead that my lips not a word mutter
even as my brain screams to do something
but I couldn't do that
that'd be rushing out on a limb
and I'm a wee to afraid for that
So, I'll just sit back
As I realize just how stupid I'm being
And how oblivious my affection is for not seeing
I am dumb enough to fall in love
Slowly
Silently
Goddangit how I want to scream
Telling ya'll not to read didn't work, so whatevs
