petty thief

love, you know i can't take credit for what my heart might say to you
it's not that i don't try sometimes
or that i don't take pride in what i do
it's just that every time i open up and try to find
a word
a million come to mind
i surely hope you don't mind me babbling on about you and your eyes
i will shut up if you want me to
i can just write it out in time
for only me to read
it's just that every time i do
i write it out in letters and in lines
and you read them anyway
like a thief to proud to pry
it makes me smile to see you blush
and you do it every time
