Intuitive Waves

I cannot make aware the strength of my intuition
And what it knows about you
It tells me how you feel, when you do
And I know you'd flip if you knew

You wouldn't think I have a clue
But I notice those little things
I can detect when your heartstrings
Are out of tune

I'd never play them, though
As much as I want to listen
Cuz this is your composition
And I'd never try to direct

So I keep quiet
Suppressed in silence
Hoping that some way
You get yourself out of whatever this is

Standing from a distance
I am helpless
And I know I'll be okay
But will you?

Probably, most likely
Though you could be better
If you only understood
That someone cares, and would let them

Skilled in the art of impulse control
Urges to show stopped in a flash
Emotion lives on under lock and key
Should you ever be ready to receive

But for now I'll just wait
In the waves of my intuition
Nothing else can be done
Except to hope for the best

I sure hope that somewhere deep down
You really do believe
That if you ever need someone
I am here for the taking

And I'm not going to betray you
Or take your trust for granted
Words, all words, I know
Only time creates meaning

So I won't let you know
All that I've figured out
Because the last thing I'd ever want
Is to overwhelm you in fear

For the sake of your comfort
I will fight myself
And though I can't deny that it's hard
It will be worth it in the end
