I dropped out of school,
I thought that I’d be fine,
but leaving you was just too hard
and it did something to my mind.

My ideas just weren’t the same

because it was you that
I was thinking of all the time.
My brother was getting aggravated;
He said to leave you behind.

But I knew I couldn’t do that
so I set off to find you.
Because that’s what
one in love would do.

I found you in your house
in the den with a book,
I couldn’t think of what to say
so all I did was look.

But I couldn’t stand the silence
so I mustered up my words
and knocked unwarily on the door
just loud enough to be heard.

I saw you through the window;
walking gracefully to the door
and the moment I saw you standing there,
my courage was no more.

You touched my shoulder slightly
as I looked you in the eye,
I told you I’d been missing you
and then you blushed and asked me why.

I told you straightforward
that I’d loved you all the while;
to my surprise you took my hand
and hypnotized me with your smile.
