Spare me glance,
A few words, or a wave.
I'm sorry I won't speak first,
But I'm not very brave.

Did you do that on purpose,
Did you go out of your way,
Just to walk me to class
And make my day.

You're words are confusing,
But your actions are the worst.
You elbow touched my arm the other day,
I swear I almost burst.

Will you ask me to prom?
Will you let me hold your hand?
Will you hold me in your arms
And sway to the music of a slower band.

Save me a dance,
Sweep me right off my feet,
Twirl me around,
And let our eyes meet.

Lean in and don't be afraid,
Close your eyes and let everything fall into place.
Let your nerves slip away,
And gently touch my face.

I've had many dreams like this.
Always me and always you,
Together in a fantasy
That might never become true.

Five years you've known me,
And I've liked you for four.
It's not easy being friend zoned
And always wishing for more.
