The thought of you, for me -

bad boy, good girl,

I'm not the one to be...

at least,

it goes without saying

that pretty things

always catch

my eye,

but how to connect

as opposites,

a love

at the tender mercies of

your heart, against my own insecurities,

these awkward butterflies

longing to be dragonflies,

you seem so perfect and out of reach

that I could die happy just trying

to sweep you off your feet,

and perhaps

that's romance,

watching me fumble,

over the lengths that I would go to

just to show you that I'm sweet,

the effort of my endeavors

for just the chance to see

your smile, and all things in between

the thought of you,

for me.
