Shifts

I'm not quite sure when a person's mind shifts
Into "being friends" and "liking someone"
But it's not an over night thing
You don't fling yourself into an ocean
You take your time to enjoy it

I'm not quite sure why everyone seems to think
That "holding hands" equals "relationship"
Apparently it's a fashion yes-yes
I simply want to express these feelings
Without whispers crawling down my neck

I'm not quite sure when it will move forward
From "connecting" to "understanding"
I don't mind taking a stroll
And opening my soul to him
Instead of falling flat on my face
