I don’t want to be rich

I don’t want to be famous

I just want to be happy

like I am with you

but I can’t tell you

that part

the part about going weak

when you look at me

the tingles that come

from you being next to me

or how when you touch me

even accidentally

a charge goes through my entire body

and I know

how a lightning rod feels
