Because nobody can tell what is written on the wind

And because nobody can tell just how quickly things can end
Turns out I'm not the kind of person who believes in fate or destiny Just kinda go with the day and see what it throws at me
And then one day I'm at my desk
and like as usual you walked past
You gave me a smile 
I gave you a joke 
you gave me a sympathetic laugh 
That I took into my heart 
Where low confidence is rife 
Instantly you're my Khaleesi 
You be the moon of my life 
Now that last rhyme was lazy
And I'm sorry it was obvious 
But I feel those words
were the best words
To try and get my point across 
You see, she'll send me an email from across the room 
"Hey darling, how was your evening? What you get up to?" 
And it makes my day just to think she thought of me 
Before logging on, or signing in or making a coffee
So I reply
and try to be funny 
and try to be awesome 
and I try to play it cool
But every sentence I write just looks like "awww I well fancy you" 
Which would be cool if I didn't
But I do, So it's not
I'm so obvious 
I'm like shutter islands plot 
And I'm so transparent 
You can call me griffin
I'm pretty obvious 
I guess Is what I are saying 
But now every now and then 
I like to fool myself again
That the smile that you did send
Was meant for more than just a friend
And like to just pretend 
But now it's the weekend
So I'll see you on Monday 
There's a place in my heart
And the shape of it is you sized
Didn't realise at the start
But I can't say I'm surprised 
That I now see you this way
And I hope that you understand 
At night and throughout the day 
I kinda just wanna hold your hand
And I know it's unlikely 
That you like me to 
I'm a bit of a nerd 
But opposites do 
Attract
It's a fact
n all of that
But still I look at my feet 
and retract
And now it is Monday again
I get that stupid grin 
I get to see your face again
And that's for the win
Because the weekend has been
Such a drawn out thing 
Getting baked with my friends
Will this mundane ever end?
You see I like your face
And I think you're really pretty
You stimulate my mind 
And you make me a little giddy
And you make me a little happy
And you make me act a fool
And you make me wanna slap me 
For acting like said fool 
For the things that I do
When I'm around you
Let me give you an example 
If you were princess Toadstall 
And you were captured by Bowser 
I'd come running and I'd save 
Over mushroom hills
underwater levels
and deepest darkest cave
Fighting Koopa troops, boos & goompas 
Won't stop until the end
Jumping straight
from worlds 1, 3 then 8
The warp whistle is my friend
So I'm at the final level
And your face is in my sight
But before the heroic kiss
Time for the main boss fight
Now the main boss is easier
Than real life can be
Just jump on his head 3 times
And it's on to victory
But real life is harder
And I wish that I knew 
All of the things to say and do
To try and impress you
And it's hard to talk to you
Without a CPU 
So I'll see you on Monday 
There's a place in my heart
And the shape of it is you sized
Didn't realise at the start
But I can't say I'm surprised 
That I now see you this way
And I hope that you understand 
At night and throughout the day 
I kinda just wanna hold your hand
And I know it's unlikely 
That you like me to 
I'm a bit of a nerd 
But opposites do 
Attract
It's a fact
n all of that
But still I look at my feet 
and retract
Back to the fact 
That I'm a nerd
And that's that
With a johnny cupcakes hat
And an antisocial cat
Spurting ice and fire facts
Wishing that I was the bat! 
So to my nerd cave I go back
