Hard Times



Times are hard but whats not?
Winters cold, summers hot.
Dreaming how much I want to hold you tight.
I daydream through the day and night.
Laughing to, every joke I hear.
Thinking about you, I shed a tear.
Wishing that, you were mine.
Places to go, hearts to shine.
Touching your heart, but not too hard.
You get to close, I put up my gaurd.
Wondering why you look at me.
I'm nothing for excitement, why can't you see?
