shy beginnings

I wait in the cold, 
Hoping to see you, 
Quiet and still, 
But my heart knows the truth. 

I’m shy, I know, 
But for your smile, 
I’d walk any distance, 
Even just for a while. 

Our first meeting feels awkward, 
Words stumble and fall. 
Is it my fault 
If I don’t know it all? 

You look at the ground 
When I come near, 
But your eyes say things 
You hold back in fear. 

And there you stand, 
Roses in hand, 
Nervous and unsure, 
But I understand. 

Maybe you’re like me, 
Scared of the start, 
Yet here we are, 
Two quiet hearts.
