Standing still, staring at you
You return my stare
Your gaze winding up my mechanical heart

My heart creaks to life
Slowly turning into a steady beat
Tick-tick, tick-tick, tick-tick

No words are spoken
But a soft touch is shared
As you take my hand in yours

My limbs stiff as I follow you
Unsure how to be around you
But a warm feeling washes through me

You lead me to feelings I’ve never felt
This mechanical heart beating faster
I feel myself becoming real

My body more fluid
My mind swimming instead of whirring
No Idea what is happening to me

No longer a tick-tick
Now my heart thumps
As it beats only for you

I stand here alive, staring back at you
Unsure of what you’ve done to me
But not wishing to be away from you

You kiss me and blood runs warm and fast
My face gaining color as I blush
Your smile making me feel like I could melt

These urges I’ve never known
To be in your arms
To be in your heart

You kiss my nose
My instinct is to scrunch it
Your giggle draws me in

I am hooked
There’s no going back
You are the only thing on my mind

What have you done to me
Please don’t look away
I fear my heart may stop again
