Staring Contest

My heavy heart I battled through
I wanted nothing more than you
A staring contest just for two
My head was filling up with thoughts of you

We were slowly growing bold
We kept each other from the cold
Your kitchen hall and on the couch
We kissed each other on the mouth
But I could always sense a lot
Was resting on that beauty spot
The one inside of your rib cage
The one that pumps blood through your veins

One day, my dear, you will be bright
Gleaming in the summer's light
Healthy from the sun's embrace
And love shining from your face
If I could ever get that close
I would gladly be a host
For all the weight behind those eyes
Behind those mesmerizing emerald skies

This is the beat inside my chest
You should know there's nothing left
I've laid it all before your eyes
No strings, no hooks, no faulty ties
I love you more than you should know
And if you need, I'll let you go
But only if you tell me to
I want whatever's best for you
