I just can't make sense of it.
You left me so confused.
I thought you couldn't see me.
But now we're stealing kisses like little kids in a candy store.
Behind the backs of others –
They wouldn't understand.
But secrets never leave me satisfied.
If only one person knew.
Just one person.
Then the world would know –
And you would vanish like a child playing hide and seek.
Recess is over.

I don't need a rose. I want a daisy you picked for my hair. I don't want some fancy box of chocolate. I want a pink frosting cookie you made just for me. Lets skip the upscale restaraunt and have a picnic in the park.

aww! sorry, had to get that outta my system ;] moving on. I really enjoyed this piece, especially the line about stealing kisses like little kids in a candy store. You paint a clear picture with your words. I like it a lot.
