Maybe you're scared to love
Because you're still learning
Learning to love yourself
The dimple on your right cheek
That "becomes a bother sometimes"
Your natural flowing hair you always
think of cutting it
Let me not even touch on the nails
When was the last time you had a pedicure
Or is it manicure? The one for fingers
It's confusing at times
You're confusing most times
Yet I've never been more sure of you
My maybe baby
Perhaps you'll allow me to love you
Take candid photos of that smile
Run my hands through your hair
You'd probably hate it but whatever
Scale those walls that are as high as my
adoration for you and break them down

Hold your hands as we talk a walk through isolated beautiful roads
I don't think I'm scared to love you
because all my yearnings came to an end
when I met you
I'll rest easy knowing you're embracing me as I embrace you
So please let me love you?
No
That's begging
How about a maybe?
