Slowly but Silently your caressing words ate deep into my resistance,
I tried to look away from your piercing stare
but I was marveled at your resilience as you made all the right moves
just to weaken my defenses.
I stood still like a little child mortified by the night
wondering whether to scream out loud
or just hide my stuttering behind my stern face.
But you smiled at me, you did smile at me reassuring me that you are just right.
Amidst my unspoken plight, you stood there feeding me with words that had an aftertaste,
words smooth enough to quench my fright.
In my weakness, you gained your strength
In my weakness, you gained your strength
and your disarming words kept permeating even when I never wanted it to,
your voice kept resonating in this my foolish heart.
I have never met someone who could twist English so badly as you
but yet all are making sense hitherto.
Be still I cautioned my heart,
Be still I cautioned my heart,
the advice was too late cos the heart already fell - that I could feel.
When I started smiling with each thought of you
I knew it was time to give up and give in.
But who gives in without him overtly trying,
words are only what they are and you're fond of mixing them like a wordsmith that you are.
Slowly you stole my heart and made them yours,
Slowly you stole my heart and made them yours,
while I lay awake most nights wondering
why I could not help becoming truly yours.
In all you do with my heart please save my concentration and focus for me,
for those are all I have left and would always need before I fall again.
