confessions of a shy girl

 
in the shadowy depths, I confess my love
a secret I keep close
my thoughts find you often
and I smile inside myself
 
it's your imperfections you know
that endear you to me
like your crooked smile
and the awkwardness of your laugh
 
stoic redeemer who makes me believe
in dreamy landscapes
and cowboys who get away with their gal
 
my soul gazes into you
your eyes pierce my solemn
my vulnerability shining
a blush and you can see
what I've been keeping from you
 
I love you, shy man
 
tender and quiet
you speak volumes with a touch
and I know you love me too
