For some reason I can't seem to meet your gaze today,
I know it seems silly, for I've met it on every other,
But today something must be different,
Because I can't look at you without having to hide a smile,
Without having to turn my face so you won't see me blush.
I think this is because of a thought that occurred to me last night,
While I was lying on my bed, just unable to sleep,
I thought of how on the school yard as a child,
How the boys used to pull the little girl's braids,
How when they teased the girls, parents said they liked us.
And I got to thinking about how you treat me,
And it made me wonder if because of your upbringing,
How maybe you never really had a childhood, to busy training,
That you're having it now, and maybe you treat crushes,
They way that school boys used to?
So now when you tease me and say things I would normally hit you for,
I can't help but wonder if you really actually like me,
And if you're only trying to get a reaction out of me?
Please excuse my strange behavior today,
It's probably just a passing fancy or wishful thinking,
And maybe tomorrow I'll be able to look you in the eyes,
But today I'm a bit lost in my blushes.
