December 29, entry 38
Dear diary
Today, I was thinking about him again
The way he looks at me
The way he speaks
To the way he dresses
I really want to give him a chance but first he got to reach out his hand
Reach out your hand
I'm dying to give you a chance
Reach out your hand
I'm dying to give you a chance
When you meet my gaze
Don't want to look away
Can you promise that you'll stay
Then we break away
And everything is back to grey
As I close my eyes
Picture your hands on mine
Fingers intertwined
And you so mesmerized
Do you feel my vibe
Yeah
I don't even want to speak
When I see you next to me
I can't even go to sleep
With you always in my daydreams
You be in my fantasy
I be hoping you don't leave
Cause that would be a tragedy
Since you are everything I need
Can we go and have some fun
Cause baby you are like the sun
Lighting up my day like Beyonce
Nothing in our way like her and Jay
I hope you see me when I'm fly
Baby can you look me in the eye
But when you do you break away
Making everything turn back to grey
Reach out your hand
I'm dying to give you a chance




Reach out your hand
I'm dying to give you a chance
