I'm all in a tangle,
don't want you to fade away,
but I also can't think of you,
you turn my world into dismay.

You have an essence,
something truly rare,
so hard to explain,
yet it lingers in the air.

When you look at me,
you steal my breath away,
when you smile at me,
I don't know what to say.

An essential love
that makes me feel alive,
gives me wings to fly,
with dreams I can't deny.

Sometimes I must step back
to see things more clearly,
and now I understand
what I feel with you, dearly,
is a once-in-a-lifetime spark.

When you look at me,
I lose all sense of time,
and when you smile,
I stumble on my rhyme.

My mind says to stay away,
but the butterflies inside
think just the opposite,
they want you by my side.

Because when I look at you,
I lose my sense of place,
and when you smile at me,
I can't find my words to face.
