I want to get to know you,
But I've kept you from speaking.
Out of all the colors, I associate you with Blue,
Not a sad blue, but a blue that's conceding.

Now that I listen, it's far too late
Rejection does things to people,
And now I think you're afraid.

I find your eyes staring
And I can't stop myself from smiling with glee
Because I can't stand bearing
The thought that you might have a crush on me.

In the back of my head there was a thought,
You are attractive, but I know not what you're like,
And that's why I am overwrought.

I knew that that day,
When you had the gut to speak to me
I walked away,
Leaving you empty.

I've ruined a relationship from attain,
By selfishly putting these walls up
To keep myself from falling again.

All those times you bothered to say hello to
Me, and I replied sarcastically
You are not the only one I've been shallow to,
I do not deserve forgiveness for my vanity.

I have failed to show interest.
I think that we should now
Make the considerate the inconsiderate.

Although I apologized and you said okay,
I dwell on the past.
But you've made my world of forever grey
A solid, warm blue contrast.
