Wish I Could Say

Just more mushiness.

I wish I could tell you
I think you're beautiful
Or that I like when you're nearby
But we aren't that close
So that might be out of line
I don't mean to offend,
But ten minutes with you
Isn't enough time
And I'd want to extend
Usually a quick chat
Is enough to raise my mood
But I want to stay as long as I can
Without being rude
Surely you understand?
I don't go about my day
Expecting angels to walk the land
Or to feel like a puppy at play
It's always nice to see you,
To be in range of your vibe
'cause I'm convinced you could
Make a stranger feel part of your tribe
There's a gentleness you have
It's something I can't explain
But what I am sure of
Is that I think you're great
