Maybe

I met you at school and it didn't strike me
You were the one, it was meant to be
One year on from when we first met
And I've fallen deep below the net
You've bought the bad out from within
It's like giving a teenager a bottle of gin
But maybe just maybe it's alright
Seeing a side of me that only comes late at night
Maybe, you are here to keep
And not just bury down real deep
Love is too strong a word
Never used by anything, not even a bird
But maybe, we can use it just for one
Only if the one, is truly not just a pun
I have three words for you
And they are 'I Love You'
