Slow
We met two Saturdays ago.
I'm not sure what I want from you.
So let's please take it slow.
The light turned green,
yet I can't go.
Even though,
You've said things to me.
I still can't let myself believe.
Maybe you want more than this.
I don't want to sour your happiness.
The light turned yellow,
I'm cautious just like before.
Slowly proceed when safe.
But I feel so paranoid.
I've been hurt too many times before.
I can't seem to forget the past.
I don't look toward the future.
I'm just so backwards right now.
I'll admit that I melted.
When I caught your eye.
Time stood still for a moment.
Then you smiled.
Let's please take this slow.
I don't know where its going.
Is this something worth growing?
I'm not looking for a causual fling.
The light flashed red,
I know I should stop.
But I run through them as usual.
I crave the sense of danger.
I don't know if this is worth pursuing.
I have no idea what I'm doing.
I've followed my heart before.
But Its gotten me nowhere.
You call me from time to time.
I like it when we talk on the phone.
Yet I know you're not "Prince Charming".
Cause' he died in me so long ago.
I'm not making the first move.
No, not this time.
I have to know for sure,
Before I make you mines.
This could go either way.
There's a fork in the road.
I take the road less traveled on.
As I'm driving I think about you.
Could your actions indeed be true?
I know I like spending time with you.
I'll just keep my headlights on.
I'm on the look-out for any obstacle.
No one's getting one over me like before.
So at this time let's just take it slow.
