• It's getting dark...
    We sit here in the grass outside the woods...
    He wants to show me the sky
    outside the city lights... I'm fumbling over my words...
    Because I know what happens when I stare at the sky..
    I stop thinking... and the stars play with my mind...
    I just know if I gaze upwards for too long..
    oh.. my.... I must not ...

    So I stare at my sneakers... look at the wild flowers...
    and talk about the weather...
    ask him a million and one questions to keep him from
    getting me to look at all those clouds and twinkling lights...
    He tells me it's dark enough now... I'm trying hard to
    change the subject...
    He asks me if I know the constellations...
    I said I do... He wants me to show him...
    So I focus on the trivial ones...
    Ursa Minor.. Ursa Major......

    But... I find myself talking about the vastness of it all...
    rambling... Why on earth does he seem so interested?
    I can feel all my rational thoughts seeping through
    the cracks in my mind... I'm smiling....
    I find myself not wanting to ever leave this place.
    To have it stay dark and twinkling forever...
    Then the conversation stops... and he
    thanks me for being here with him tonight......
    And I'm gone... I smile... and I say it...
    It's inevitable... oh you silly... silly girl...

    .... " I like you"
