Understatement

by Danielle Ernst

And I never once thought it’d be easy
But I have to admit-
this is getting a little hard
Hard to not flash you a look
that would send you a shiver from across the room
Hard not to hug you just a little more intimately
and pull you a little closer when we say goodbye
Hard not to touch you more than usual
not to speak to you more than usual
Hard not to look at you more than usual
not to smile that way when you say my name
It’s just getting a little harder nowadays...

at least I know it’s the same with you
cuz I just saw you look at me
from across the crowded room
and you wouldn’t believe
how hard it was to hide that shiver
And I know it’s not gonna be easy
But I can no longer explain
cuz saying this is hard
sounds like such an understatement
When I look
and you
you’re looking back at me...
