• Through Klutzy Eyes


    Every day I look at you in fascination, your jade eyes gleaming in the sun.
    For all of those that have fought for my heart, you are the one who's won.

    But though my heart says yes, my body still cannot decide.
    Every chance I get to say “I love you” just slips right on by.
    When I head toward you to say so, my body tends to trip,
    Just like the banana peel incident last week that made me slip.

    My heart says yes, but it’s my mind that struggles.
    Every time I come up, it’s my body that tumbles.
    I was ready, too, when I was going to ask you to the dance,
    But my nervousness made me fall (I stepped on my pants).

    I really wish I could approach you and scream, “Will you be mine?”
    Now if my body would only respond right just that one time!

    Through Shy Eyes


    I watch you play around with that goofy smile of yours
    Even if my friends don’t like it, for my heart it’s a lure.

    With all your crazy antics making me laugh all day,
    I really wonder what would be the words I should say.
    Like the slip that occurred just last week,
    I couldn’t say “Are you okay?” because I couldn’t speak.

    Even with all your crazy tactics making me smile at times,
    Like the incident with the banana, I want to see if you are fine.
    Even if my friends laughed and thought you were a fool
    I sort of thought it was funny, and kind of cool.

    Now I know in my heart you are the one for me,
    But I just get too nervous, so I hope you could ask me.
