I didn't ask, didn't mention n' never thought...

I didn't ask for you to come and be my company Just so you can enjoy air of silence with me I didn't ask for you to enlighten me with... your sultry words N' I don't recall askin' you to become... Comfortable Within' my comfort zone I didn't mention anything about my ideal man Nor did I mention anything about recruiting another friend I damn sho' never mentioned love No sex Not even a hug I never mentioned time Or any special activities of mine I never mentiioned a kiss A touch of the brow Or a touch of your lips I never thought of anyone like you Never even thought of being with someone like you Never thought you could like me or even grow to love me Never thought of such a treasure that I could share with you Forever Never thought I'd hear you say "I love you" In such a way That would give me insight... Especially today So because I didn't ask,                 didn't mention                     and never thought of such things a man would do... You did them all anyway And for this,is why I love you Written March 7th, 2002 © on Mar 07 2002 09:24 AM PST   18 • 0 • 8
