Friend Zone

FRIEND ZONE

I know this relationship is new, 
Your character i only know a few, ?
I'm an introvert, how do i relate with you? ?
Truth is we barely meet, but in my dream all i see is you, ?When you're around why do i feel this chill? ?
Then when you leave, in my head its a slide show of you. 
As i stand there, stiff like a statue, ?
I couldn't help, but stare through mid-air, thinking about you?
Your eyes ,  your smile?
Would they really mind if your words were lie?
I know i'm scared to look you in the eye,
?
Because my broad chest couldn't stand the fire, That burns through, ?
The desire, am scared of being accustomed to, ?
Wondering how, because you wandering around in my mind has become a custom too, ?
And if i migrate illegally into your heart, will i get arrested by the customs too,
And get kicked back to that streets where i became friends with you,?
Sometimes i wonder, do you feel the same way I do?
?
When you hear my name, Does it twitch your brain,?
When you see a girl around me, do you go in rage,?
Do you laugh out loud when you read my text,
or smile like a fool, when you're alone in the room, 
going through your phone reading our messages.
How do you feel if you don't see me a day, ?
Also do you hold on to your phone, 
if my promised call was delayed??
And hope every text or calls you received comes from me, 
When you look me in d eye, do i send a chill through your spine,?

Wait let me explain, while staring at you, i see these spark in your eyes,
Or did that only happen in my brain, No maybe it was my mind,?
But I am always willing to sit and talk to you every minute I get,?
Let the night come, while we watch the stars, if i see one shooting, 
I'll be quick to make a wish,  that the night never ends, ?
Or request for hours longer than 24 so we can have more time to spend,
?Hold hands and gist about our future,
Swears my heart is in love,?
But my brains asking me questions, are you sure?
What if, she wants to lure,
You in, take what she wants and leave you numb, 
?
Like she injected paralysis in your soul, ?
You feel dejected, because your missing rib just broke your bone,?
Oh,  I'm confused , my thoughts just profuse, ?
What if she's not in love and don't feel what you feel??
So  scared babe,  permit me if i cause any delay to ask you out.?
Am just afraid you might say, lets just be friends i don't want your feelings bro. ?
And then you'll walk me back to that FRIEND ZONE i tried to escape, 
So please tell me how do i cope? 
When i have been FRIEND ZONED.
