"Hello, how are you?"
. . .

Think, think, what do I say?
What do I say to get them to stay?
How do I not drive them away?
. . .

Oh no, now I've waited too long,
They're staring at me like I'm mentally gone.
What's wrong with me??
Just say something!

Sweat drips from your forehead,
Your heart beats out of your chest,
Your breaths are quick and short.

Say something!!
. . .
"..H-hi."

That was it?
That's what you said??
What's wrong with you?
You're better off dead!

Look at them!
They think you're insane!
You've scared them away!
Now you'll never see them again!
