I didn’t know how to ask
Un-awkwardly
I didn’t know how to broach it
I haven't known how to do this informally
Not cut out for dropping masks
I guess I give and you give back
Is that right?
Guess I listen and you give feedback
Is that right?
I guess I call when I need help
Is that right?
Will you be my girlfriend?
I haven’t worn my heart on sleeves
And been rewarded
With and openheartedness
I haven’t felt I had the right to
Be supported
With a golden tenderness
I guess I risk and you risk back
Is that right?
I guess I share and you share back
Is that right?
Guess I uplift you when you crack
Is that right?
Will you be my girlfriend?
Can I lean on your shoulder
Would you join me in some pact
Will you see me as your sister
Can we love enough to offer that
I guess I thought that you would laugh
And be daunted
And think me clingy and too much
I thought this much too vulnerable
And you'd not cut me slack
And think me intolerable
I guess I fall and you stay intact
Is that right?
I guess you hear me and won’t attack me
Is that right?
Guess I reach out and you reach back
Is that right?
Will you be my girlfriend?
Guess I divulge and you wink back
Is that right?
I guess you cry I pet your back
Is that right?
I guess I text and you text back
is that right?
Will you be my girlfriend?
