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"
