I'm in love with the shyest boy in the world
His voice is muted white noise music on a crowded elevator, but I started listening to the lyrics
And I think it's my favorite song
He is cautious and gentle like a baby fawn
But he has the mind of a thundering ocean and enchanting eyes to match
In a glittering, glaring room of fluorescent lights and brilliant pyrite, he's a small treasure chest lying haphazardly against the wall
But I've peaked inside and I've seen a glimpse of the most beautiful, wondrous treasures and god, I wanna open that box
I wish I had a key
I wish he would text me first and walk with me in the hallway and search me out in a crowd and see something incredible in me
But he's the shyest boy in the world
A careful creature with gentle fingers
Who wouldn't dare hurt anyone in this world
I think he's a quiet angel
I wanna watch a movie with him and make goofy comments the whole time and giggle like little kids
I wanna give him his favorite thing, whatever it may be, and see his eyes light up at the sight of it
Blue eyes are overrated but his are paintings that no one bothers to admire, because his eyes are always pointed downward
I'd love to make him smile and talk for hours and listen to his favorite music
But it's easier said than done
Suddenly, he's quietly here and we're sitting together
And I've become the shyest girl in the world.
