Shy Guy

Shyness in glances.
Oh, I've seen you before.
From far away you'd never know--

Boldness in text messages
Attentiveness when I catch you off guard
Still you don't know what to say

Did I just make you heart race?
I'll never know with you standing so far from me.

What do you feel when you see me?
Do I make you heart flutter?
Does my smile make you weak?
I won't ever know unless you speak.

Do I make you nervous like you make me?

Stay silent if you will.
I'm sure that's your way.

Keep your shield up if you have to,
I know it makes you feel better.

But I can't live like that.
Everyone is broken!
You're not the only one who's been hurt.

But I can't live like that...

I wear my heart on my sleeve and maybe that's a mistake...
But I can't seem to care if it is.
I have to live with my heart wide open.

And even if you hurt me it won't matter
At least I'll have this one moment
The one where you kissed me
And that's mine forever.
