I went out and bought some cologne,
Even though some I already own,
Brushed my teeth twice,
Put on an extra coat of old Spice,
Color coordinated my clothes,
Did every primp beside powdering my nose,
I practiced what speaking voice to use,
Even what face I thought you couldn't refuse,
Now there is the long ride over to your place,
My chaotic thoughts run a ragged race,
Thinking bout all the hints I have left at your feet,
The only thing left is be eye to eye with you and speak,
What I've held in my heart since that long ago day,
Destiny in my eyes let us cross ways,
Yes it is cold outside, the leaves are shivering,
But its not the temperature making my lips quiver,
MY hands tremble so much I stuff them in my pockets,
My body abuzz as if I had just touched a light socket,
Got out closed the car door, looked up into the sky,
Praying for a fortuitous sign to breeze by,
The sky was an non-aiding source, covered in gray,
Once again with each step I went over what I wanted to say,
No I wasn't going to play it off as a physical thing,
Devalue you and myself, by offering some fleeting playing,
I just had to come clean, for better or worse,
Let you know, hope you felt this wasn't a curse,
Genuine feelings, devotion and adoration,
To be received hopefully with a celebration,
One way or another, to be or not in our stars,
I felt too much, and come too far,
To change my message, or speechlessly return to the car,
As my hand grabbed the doorknob I was ready say that you are,
My friend, my hope, my fantasy everything for which I dreamed,
And without a mirror I know my eyes got misty and gleamed,
For better or worse, come what may,
I would let you know how I felt about you this day.
