No Room... For Me

We ride together
  In your truck
Singing along to
  Your favorite version of
     "Freebird"
  As we go cruising
Up the parkway.

Flower Child at heart
  I sit next to you
In the three person cab
  Of your truck
Leaving no room
  For secrets or fear
With every smile
     I blush
  Knowing I put it there
With every laugh
     I laugh
  Thinking it has the least bit
   To do with me
With every look
     I sigh
  Wishing I knew how you felt

One day...
  This will be right
  This will be ours
  This will be us
Until then,
   I'll be here
  By your side
   Barely breathing
