Butterflies in my stomach

Butterflies in my stomach
(Umar Faiz)

Who is it there inside?
Dwells in my mind, like
A tingling tease,
An overwhelming aching desire

Who is it there inside?
Picks the cords of my heart
Sends shivers down my spine
Flutters butterflies in my stomach

Who is it there inside?
Knocks the doors of my heart
Whispers mischieviously in my ears
Makes me bite my lower lip

Who is it there inside?
Eager to utter naughty words
Inundates me with apprehension
Makes my knees weak with excitement

Who is it there inside?
Wants to make a confession
The three magical words
That I yearn to listen

Who is it there inside?
Probes with his admiring gaze
Flirts with my tassles
Mesmerizes me with his candor

Who is it there inside?
Frustrates to reconcile with this awakening
That I defeat from the pit of my stomach
Yet I embrace from the core of my heart
