Do I Matter

Hesitation if I should engage myself fully
Letting myself go all in just seems silly
This abstract relationship breeds uncertainty
Fearing the worse, fighting my heart is an everyday reality
I just need a questionable percentage of you
Time is not a luxury, open your soul I need you
Nurturing frustration while my feelings have no reaction
Hoping that mutual is the language spoken to facilitate action
The past is where it should be, let's not embrace it
The future is on hold, we just need to play it
All I need is a questionable percentage of you
The day I was conceived it was always you
I poured my heart and soul on this pen; I do hope it reaches you
On this stream of love trying to locate you
I notice you every day, i'm no stalker
I just have a schedule I drew with my "love marker"
All I need is a questionable percentage of you
It's questionable because authorisation would come from you
Permission to speak freely, I love you
Ever since you graced my eyes I just manage to only see you
You personify my admiration
My biggest weakness, I see you I fight temptation
All I need is a questionable percentage of you, if not all
The question is; "do you see me" or you don't at all?
