When I Wasn't Looking

love sneaking up on a person

You slipped past most of my walls,

Slipped under the wire,

Was only expecting friendship,

Never thought I’d get so much more,

When I wasn’t looking you swept me off my feet.

The wonderful words you have spoken,

The way your eyes look when you say them,

Makes me start believing that they might actually come true.

Your touch tells me you want me,

Your lips tell me your hungry for me too,

I want to spend the rest of my life loving only you.

It’s when I wasn’t looking that you slipped in,

Have planted this tree of hope,

Have watered it with the love you are willing to give,

Each time I try to pull away you refuse to let me go,

You find the right words that keep me from running scared,

It makes me realize I have fallen for you,

There’s no turning back.

You’re the reason I smile so much these days,

The time we are apart seems like more like years instead of just mere weeks,

When you touch me I feel my soul come to life,

When I am with you I feel as if the other half of me has finally connected to become whole,

It all happened when I wasn’t looking,

That moment that I realized that I belong to only you.
