This guy I met, several months ago

Went from the guy I met to the guy I know

Couldn't help but think at times of a guy I always see

So we swapped the 10-digits, 'cause conversations is key

to get a whiff of who you're dealing with—a general flow

of this person that we feel we have the right to know

We did our basic chit chat and I eventually found

That it was cool to have a dude sometimes hanging around

You caught me so off guard and, man, it's amazing

The way slight infatuation can have people behaving

A few more months went by and, wow, how I saw you

You turned from “He's cool” to a potential guy pursued

And now you're all that I think of to make my day seem better

And if I was ever down, I'd just read a bit of that letter

Yeah, you know that note you sent me on a whim, you said

Just an excuse to get a bit of my time

You said you just wanted to let me know that I was on you mind

It said you're always there for me and, if need be, I could come over

Whenever I may need the embrace of a pal or a shoulder

To cry on

“Rely on me” you once said—I feel you, I deserved

You changed my outlook on men; they're not all the dogs I thought they were

To think that I was the one saying “I can't stand men!”

It's funny and I can't believe I let myself go there again

To be so wide open again that you can feel my every thought

I love my time spent with you and all the joy that you've brought

back into my life…and I hope you're here to stay

To bring warmth into my nights and you light into my days

Sometimes it's almost as it I'm dreaming. “This can't be real” I say

I must be trippin', almost wishing you'd say “I love you” one day

Only time will tell

Hopefully, someday soon

Oh, well…

Wonderful things of that nature generally coincide with blue moons

Or, maybe I'm just thinking to hard

Of the only guy who ever got me to fully drop my guard

It's just…my stomach does these little flips

When I imagine us in a relationship

But, we're not going that route—are we? If so, put me down

So I can be prepared when that day finally rolls around

People say it's amazing how I've changed…it's true

I've changed a hell of a lot since I met you

Just because being with you is sheer happiness

They say I act like a woman obsessed

I can't blame them; they're almost right

I can't help but think of you and I hope we might

get to be a little more than 'just plain friends'

But relationships are hard and I sometimes tend

to be a little on defense but wait and see

And I'll be right and ready to make you happy
