Silent Lusting

It's not something you can really hear 
       It's in the way that we stare
      or the little things we do 
      Simple things 
     Stuff that to the real world may seem insignificant
         But to us it's what it is
               Just plaining lusting
            I can see it in your eyes 
              I can feel it in your smiles
               The childish way You tease me 
                 Like were back in 5th grade
                    Hitting, Pulling, pushing  
                   Doing anything and everything 
                        Besides telling the truth
                           about how we really feel
                             But now it's sort of different
                              Cause I'm a senior in highschool
                                       So R U
                                  But we can't seem to get by
                                this way that we communicate 
                                  It's through the eyes 
                                     That I feel the closest to you
                                         It's silent lusting 
                                             plain and simple
