Misinterpreted

Young,lively and pretty
She lived on the next street
With a dazzling smile like the stars
My soul longed to be with her

The feeling was mutual
So we came up real tight
Never far from each other
Be it day or night

At school,at home,in church
We play,we laugh,we talk
Academics,movies and fairy tales
Playing different characters as we walk

Hand in hand,shoulder to shoulder
Expressing the adolescence in us
Then the plan to make it official
Came up hot and robust

For days I crammed my words
Neck deep in my rehearsals
Scared to contemplate what will be
If I eventually met denial

Minutes ran to hours
Days ran to weeks
I couldn't summon the courage
So I started feeling sick

And then she came to visit
To myself I said 'this is it'
Its either now or never
She must be my lover

As I spelled out my heart desire
The real bombshell fell
My fears came alive
I wished I didn't tell
