Brain on Pause
 
When I see you it makes *click*
….my mind turns off.
 
*Click*
What was it that I was looking for on you?
 
*Click*
What was it that I wanted to say?
 
*Click*
What did I wanted to ask?
 
*Click* - it’s all gone away
 
Can’t get a clear thought.
Shaking fingers,
Stammering like a child,
Acting like a fool,
Brain on pause.
 
A moment and it’s already too late,
To look for a ring on your finger,
To tell you that I like you,
To ask you for a date.
A moment that’s elapsed,
And the brain press play.
 
Maybe I try tomorrow to tell - to ask - to look.
Maybe next week,
Maybe never,
Because of the *click*
