Invited
Not sure why I doubt
What your eyes tell me all about
Every single time they pass over me
Your message is conveyed without a sound
Yet here we are quiet and motionless
The silence is deafening somehow
The words sit on my tongue, right behind my lips
But for some reason I can't spit them out
Are the signals I've been sending you
Too subtle and obscure?
Because you still haven't made your move
Though your success is assured
I'm afraid to take the risk
But I can't stand to wait another moment
I think the prize will be worth the consequence
And I know if I do nothing I'll regret it
So consider this an invitation
To come over here and get closer
Without any demands or expectations
And no unnecessary exposure
Just you and I
Feeling vital and alive
You can touch me if you'd like
I promise you won't be denied
