i'm ready

to like someone again

someone i can like without feeling guilty

or hopeless

i'm not desperate for a relationship

i'm relatively satisfied being single

but i want to know it's possible

that i can like someone

with her liking me back

so i'm ready

for the feeling that comes with the unknown

the pleasant nervousness

the quickening pace of my heart

when i'm around her

now i'll play the waiting game

to see if it's possible

to open those feelings and let them run free

waiting for the girl that catches my fancy
