I get so nervous approaching you
Even though I don't think you mean it
That cold stare of yours is hard to face
I need to know if you need a copy of the script
Obviously you do but I need a reason to talk to you
90 pages through the copier later the script is in your hands
I interrupt your conversation with Charlie
Charlie and I are good friends
You are discussing nuclear warfare
I laugh quietly
Charlie has a way of making a n y t h i n g funny
You finally acknowledge me with a glare
It was not my conversation to laugh at
I leave abruptly
Sitting across the room I put headphones in
So it appears like I'm listening to music
But I forget to hit play and listen to you instead
Charlie is funny but I hardly notice
I like listening to you and the intoxicating way in which you speak
You are well informed about everything and your words appear flawless
I could listen to you speak endlessly
That should have startled me
It wasn't normal that I was so keen to listen because
As I'm sure you have noticed by now
Listening has never been my thing and I talk more than I should
But I shut up for you
I should have kept talking.
