You're just another one of those guys
With average built,
Average wit,
Nothing special,
The same old.

We haven't even talked much,
Just a few conversations,
Nothing too deep,
Nothing to dwell upon.
I probably even came off too meek.

But then why does my heart flutter at the mere mention of your name?
Why, when I enter a room, my eyes involuntarily search for your face?
Why just talking to you brings me so much comfort?
Why I know I can count on you, but we're pretty much strangers?

I tell myself it's probably nothing
Because I can't find a reason for there to be anything.
But then why, every night, before I go to bed,
I pray that you feel the same, feel something?
