When You're Near Me

When you're near me

I can't speak clearly

Of course when you touch me

I lose my train of thought

My knees grow weak

I walk in circles literally

I can't speak at all

At that point

When you're near me

I smile

Come closer I giggle

Closer still

I laugh with delight

How a new word appears in use

Only recently learned

How a favor given long ago

Is happily returned

Now the clouds have parted

I can't speak clearly

When you're near me

But you can hear 

The laughter of delight

Echoes from my heart

When You're Near Me.
