"Jaded"

I've had crushes before, but none like this.

Why is it you who I can't resist?

My heart grows weaker by the minute.

I wonder if you ever see it?

I strain to face you with a smile,

As I wait patiently for a while,

Hoping that someday you will see

Something more than a friend in me.

I've wiped the tears, both yours and mine,

But I do my best to say "I'm fine".

I can't blame you, you never pushed me,

But can you blame me, if there's something in you I see.

As a joke, they tell me that "love is blind",
Then they ask me "what is it in you I find?".
So I ease their mind. To all those others

I say, "Love is not blind, it only sees what matters".

Your kindness, humor and playful vulgarity

And there's your determination, passion, talent and maturity.

I smile, laugh and blush with you the most.

To have you as someone in my life, gives me a chance to boast.

I try to act normal when you're around,

But it's much more difficult than it sounds.

I'm glad that you put me at ease,

But there are times that you make me weak in the knees.

If believing in me is so rough,

And if you still think that this is a bluff,

I hope that what I say and do is enough

To show you that it's you who I love.
