I'm the story you never told. And I'm telling your story now. I'm telling the secrets you want to hide but can't keep hidden. Listen, as the fire crackles and the cat curls up on your lap. Listen, as your hair stands at uncanny reflections. Listen to your heart, screaming. listen, and dream.

Infatuation

He looks at me with eyes filled with infatuation
Just a little push
It can be turned into love
Oh, I’m so tempted
He’d be sweet
And good for my broken soul

For once I’d be able to speak my mind
For I won’t feel afraid
All we’d do are sunset walks
Holding hands
Whispering sweet nothings

He’s only thirteen
I can’t do that to him
For I look at him
With infatuation filled in my eyes as well

He knows it
As do I
Love’s too quick to say
Infatuation’s all there is

But I guess that’s just another one of those heart-stopping crushes for you

What would everyone say?
I’d be shunned I guess
Everyone would be stunned
But that’s just me I guess
Centre of attention
Stealing everyone’s breaths

My heart’s pumping
Even as I say this
It’s thumping
Like it’s going to pop right out of my chest

But I guess that’s just another one of those heart-stopping crushes for you

He messes up my head
I wonder if I do that to him as well
He takes my breath away
I can’t help but smile for the rest of the day

For once I’m jumping out of bed once more
For once I’m ready by seven o’ clock
I can’t wait to get to school
I start humming senseless love songs under my breath

But I guess that’s just another one of those heart-stopping crushes for you

And I can’t help but
To fall freely for him
He looks away when I look at him
But he’s drawn to me, I know that

I look at him with questions in my eyes
Wondering if we’d be able to make this strange love
Or perhaps we wouldn’t stand a chance at all
After all, he’s only thirteen
And I am, unfortunately, sixteen

But I guess that’s just another one of those heart-stopping crushes for you
