Kilig

My heart is reaching for you
While my mind is putting up its roadblock
It may startle me, or it may not
If on my soul you did knock

Scared you are really mine
Just feels silly that I would deserve
Hard to wrap my head around
How you wrap around my every nerve

It's scary how one could feel your presence
Days before you even show
I see a stranger im in love with
While your eyes say…
all about me you already know

While I feel a longing for your touch
I am confused, I am terrified
What if you end up being just a live dream
And to my own existence I have lied

Doesn't seem real, you being here
Yet I know it's this way or nothing
I want it this strong or to just remain alone
Yet now I can feel our lives already blending

Did God cheat you out of how wonderful you could be
By placing you to be in love with a kalopsia like me?
I feel so cheap, then I feel so ataraxia about myself
It would be mild to say whats between us is a kilig

But for you I’ll stay…its so simple…i see no other way.
