Radiant glow illuminating across the room
Your eyes wandered around
Introverted speaking pins and stickers
Typing away on the screen
Purple and red talking without an end
Nervous, trying to sneak a sight
Foolish mistakes and sorrowful lies
Shying away from happiness
Planned out our talks all in my head
Trying to speak from the heart
Deceitful guise, in all honesty, isn't fair
Broken things, you're better off without me
Intrusive thoughts, can't survive
Sitting down cause I'm not good enough
Five seconds max to admire
I don't know if saying hi would be worth it
I don't really know anything
Ironic as it is talking to you in my mind
Even mirrors let me down
Mending the bridges and breaking the ice
Coming after me afraid I left
Forgetting that people have fears too
Anxiety and bravery, what a mix
An unexpected push took me to where you are
Spilling out truths for once
What have I got to lose but a bruised ego
Block in your words, a simple hi
Curious about the letters you've been writing
I can feel the love tonight
But many opportunities I tend to pass on
"Let's not waste this one"
