I close my eyes and let thoughts stray,
They drift through night and fade through day.
They wander far beyond the blue,
Yet circle back again to you.
When first we met, my heart like thunder
Broke calm and pulled my reason under.
My words rushed out in sudden bluster,
My thoughts confused in nervous fluster.
I try to speak in measured tone,
Yet every phrase feels overthrown.
My heart goes boom in beating cluster,
I wish my restless mind were master.
If I could shape my thoughts much faster,
And speak them plain a moment after,
I’d say the truth I try to muster—
My hope would cling to you like plaster.
So here I stand with naught to cover,
No borrowed word, no hidden armour.
And if my lines still fail to muster,
Just know my heart beats loud for you.
They drift through night and fade through day.
They wander far beyond the blue,
Yet circle back again to you.
When first we met, my heart like thunder
Broke calm and pulled my reason under.
My words rushed out in sudden bluster,
My thoughts confused in nervous fluster.
I try to speak in measured tone,
Yet every phrase feels overthrown.
My heart goes boom in beating cluster,
I wish my restless mind were master.
If I could shape my thoughts much faster,
And speak them plain a moment after,
I’d say the truth I try to muster—
My hope would cling to you like plaster.
So here I stand with naught to cover,
No borrowed word, no hidden armour.
And if my lines still fail to muster,
Just know my heart beats loud for you.
