This I Had To Do
You make all my thoughts go wild
When usually they’d be nothing but mild.
You make me want to go crazy
And make my eyes become lazy
Because all they want is to look at you.
They are searching for something new.
One day something appeared that was new
And seemed, compared to the normal, wild,
But still all I wanted to see was you.
This longing was nothing close to mild.
While everyone else was being lazy
All I could do was over you go crazy.
This feeling extended to places most crazy
In ways that some would see as new,
But somehow I was still too lazy
And would only imagine going places wild.
Somehow, by some miracle-not mild
The first one to approach was you.
As I sat and stared at you
In a way that on the outside seemed crazy,
I started to speak in a tone very mild.
I could tell that to you this was nothing new
But to me it surely seemed wild.
Then I noticed-you walked over as if lazy.
I began to worry that due to me being lazy
I had done everything but attract you.
Immediately after that thought I ran wild,
Ignoring the way I looked so crazy,
Ran toward the one and only you.
I knew my words could be anything but mild.
After the day’s failure nothing was mild.
I decided I would never again be lazy.
Although I did not get what I wanted I thank you.
On that day I began something new,
And I knew it would sound crazy,
And some including me would say wild.
Today I now go from mild to wild.
I once was lazy but now am crazy.
I decided to become a new version of you.
