All i wanted was to
make you laugh, even smile
a real smile
not one of those, i smile to make people
feel better
i wanted to smile back, or smile
at all
i wanted to laugh and show you
how beautiful i am
and i wanted to touch your shoulder
maybe your hand
just a graze
the smallest gesture
to let you know that i am
looking for someone just like you, no
i'm looking for you
but every time you come within
a distance worth my while
i get sick, and i lose
my chance and maybe
i look stupid, maybe foolish
but all i want, is for you to realize
that i'm everything you're looking for
standing before you
too scared to smile
too near fainting to laugh
too petrified to make
the impression i know i can make
the one that will make you look
not twice, but
un-limited
