could you say your name a little louder
if you're meant to make a lasting impression on me
could you lock eyes just a little longer
smile just a little wider, only at me
wink a bit more impishly
if i'm to get the message
that here you are

could you say my name a little more slowly
drawing out the syllables, so i hear
how they sound in your voice
sit a little closer
so i know the world is meant to be
blocked out
from our conversation

could you make it just a little clearer
if you're here to keep me from being lonely anymore
hold my hand or write me letters
or call me by a nickname
that only you use

could you be the one
my one
could you please
