Puppy Love

caramels and carousels
and silly smiles we shared
the last time I stayed over
you told me that 
you cared.

We've always been like cousins
dancing on the wind
I thought that you would always be
just another friend

  The pretty girls all chase you
and pull your hair and laugh
you always teased and said
I had a neck like a giraffe.

You've grown so tall and handsome
like Adonis in my eyes
I never dared to think of you 
as being my life's prize

You say I have an aura
a shining in my soul
I think you have a fever
I fear you've caught a cold.

But I will take advantage 
of your sickened state to say
I'll race you to the river
for I just might win today!
