I Sit Beside Her

It's been two hours,
since I watched her from afar.
She doesn't notice that I approach her,
She's lost in her thoughts.
She seems unaware of my presence,
I sit beside her to talk to her.
How can I do that?
She's so focus on watching those people.

I admit I feel so intrigued,
this woman's so lonely.
I wanted to comfort her,
determined to start a conversation.
Thinking of funny things to say,
just to see her laughter.
Talking to a stranger,
isn't my thing, my curiosity made me.

Is interrupting her a good idea?
I feel like a fool staring at her.
What happen to me?
I want to talk now.
But I fail to do that.
What if I stutter?
What an embarrassment!
Should I do this?

I'm battling with my thoughts,
to start talking to her or not?
Should I leave now?
I'm certain he doesn't need company.
Deep inside I want to know her.
What makes this woman so lonely?
As I'm about to talk,
she leaves me hastily.
