To the girl I think I love...
Have you guessed who you are yet?

You're the one I can't get out of my mind,
Yet I can't see you if I try.
All I do is remember how your presence feels
And you somehow flout convention
And make me smile, even now.

But I still don't know...
This might be the real thing,
In which case I'll die inside again...

Or maybe it's just a phase I'm going through,
And I'll wake up next week
And realise you were just a straw
I tried to clutch onto as I became
Ever more submerged in the torrent
That you unwittingly saved me from.

Either way, I'll probably never let you know
That it's you I write about
And that it's you that constantly invades
My daydreams...

Because if you don't know by now,
It's probably not worth telling you.
