The Highest Bidder

I want to hear you talk forever,
The clever things you say
inspire me to hold you close
if you wouldn't push away.

But you're bold and keep your distance,
Your resistance to my arms
just complicates my courage
and cripples all my charms.

I just can't divert my thoughts from you,
Construe a new emotion
to hide the fiction of my mind
or blind my heart's devotion.

Because your eyes are so resilient,
You're brilliant when you smile
like everything you see you love...
Just love me for a while.
