I saw him today!
I spoke to him tooand the words from his mouth
were clever and true.
Words you understood,
but would hardly use.
and i tried and tried to impress him too
but my mind wouldn't give in
wish i could replace all these over used words
with their smart and impressive synonyms
but i fumbled like a girl in love
as i stared at my feet
and pulled my natural locks
i saw her today
and spoke to her too
and her words were playful and simple
words i had heard ever so often
but never this softly
and i tried and tried to match her grace
but the man in me would not obey
and I uttered sheer nonsense
like a walking dictionary
i wanted words that would touch her heart
like her presence melted mine
but i am but a man
so with my hand in my pocket
and my feet firmly on the ground
i allowed only my mind the ease to fidget
like a boy in love
