In Between

We're in between the
"HEY" and "I Love You".
Its no man's land - woman's hands
Its the heart with a rational thought,
the mind when it lacks the ability to comprehend.

How do I tell you,
how does one tell,
how do you want to know?

Between the sheets,
during the kiss,
What about now?
Can you handle this?

I like you...
So childish, kiddish but sweet.
those three words set my mind free and hearts afloat.
Cupid missed me,
you haven't even responded.

He's just silent (thoughts race through my head).
He's just silent (what have I done, did he read me wrong).
He's still silent (What should I say?)

The moment lingers with stale air,
death becomes -
be still my heart.
