I want to tell her,
But she might be seeing me as a friend.
I want to tell her,
But what if she doesn't like it.
I've always been that dreamy kid
Sitting in some corner,
On some bench,
Ignored,
Marked as absent by the teacher.
I've always been that dreamy kid
Everyone gossips about.
No one has come close.
No one has the courage
To look into my eyes and see the lava
Popping bubbles in me.
No one has the courage
To look at these hanging spikes of ice,
Waiting to fall on the young deer with broken legs.
But she saw it.
She doesn’t feel the heat,
But she at least counts the popping bubbles.
She doesn’t feel the heat,
But she's the only one who wants to.
She'll push me downhill
And I’ll break a rib or two.
But the spikes of ice won’t fall on me.
I’ll break a rib or two.
But she'll take this young deer home,
Wrap him in a blanket
And put him near the fireplace.
I want to tell her.
And I have to tell her,
Because she's too smart
To understand what I feel.
She too smart
To love first.
I’ll go to her with my broken legs
So that she can fix me.
I’ll go to her with my broken legs
And tell her at last.
