Here's one that I wrote during my "single" days. It always seems that the women that I was attracted to were good friends first. The next step of going beyond "just friends" to one of more intimacy always required risks and an awkwardness. It was that way when I was 16 years old, and then the same throughout my dating life. This was for Sara. We remained "just friends" but she did pull away.

Where do you want to go?

I wish there was a way that I could tell you
All the feelings dancing here within my mind
I’d like to say, without scaring you away
With you girl, I’m not just passing time
With you girl, I’m not just passing time

You know that words like love, they don’t come easy
To prisoners of feelings from before
Sara can’t you see, that I’m trying to find the key
To turn the lock and open up the door
To turn the lock and open up the door

chorus

All my life I’ve waited for you to come my way
My life’s been re-instated, but I just can’t seem to say
all the words I know a woman like you would need to hear
but conversation is confusing, but my train of thought is clear
Don’t pull away, don’t pull away, don’t pull away

If I were King Arthur’s court magician
With powers beyond the realm of man
I’d cast my spell of magic on you while you were sleeping
In hopes that you would somehow understand
In hopes that you would somehow understand
