Plus

well i met this guy at a party earlier and i really like him

You're shy like I am, that's a plus
You have a tenderness to you, another plus
I feel a genuine connection with you, even bigger plus
The way you hold me, makes me weak in the knees
The way your hand caresses my neck makes me shiver
You kissed me then and there,
I think I'm falling for you
Not in love obviously
But I feel that genuine attraction to you
Moments of tonight make me wonder; is it the same for you?
Am I in your thoughts as you are in mine?
Right now all I can think of is you
Then fun we just had
Give yourself a reason to come to me once more
Make an excuse
I'll be as blunt as possible
Boy I like you
There I said it.

You think so? Thank you...but as it turns out...he's taken.

I can hear the inner voice in this dialogue with yourself. The sense of disbelief that it can be happening, as you check off all the "pluses" till you finally take that first step and acknowledge to the other that you may have feelings beyond friendship. I think it may actually be harder to tell someone you like them, than you love them, as you've usually smoothed the ground a bit with the initial declaration of "I like you". Great job at capturing that titillating sense of exhilaration and fear that comes at the very beginning of a potential relationship.
