like a flame

From the first time I saw you
I thought you were so cute.
If this heart of mine was a horn,
then you gave it quite a toot.

I love to see you smiling at me,
can't wait until once more you do.
The thing that I'll be doing back,
is giving a big old smile to you.

As I gaze into your beautiful eyes,
I see warmth, honesty, 
and to my surprise,
a tiny glimpse of your soul.

And as you look into my eyes,
I hope you plainly see,
the things I see in you
returned right back from me.

I'd like to get to know more of you,
and hope you feel the same.
It's hard to describe these sparks I feel,
it's kind of like a flame.

In the so short time that we've shared,
you have touched me deep inside.
I know it show in my big old smile,
it's something that I just can't hide.

And I wouldn't even want to if I could.
