Just Say Something
I wonder what she's murmuring
While I formulate methods to ask her out --
I feel like a thing that paces its cage:
Please say a word to put us on the same page.
If I just had her I could forget the rest --
It's as though I were here at her request.
When she beams my world is full of light,
She may say nothing, but she looks just right.
What can I do to draw her out?
I'd ask her questions but I'm always in doubt.
I'd love to give her comfort, if I knew the way,
Her stunned eyes follow me from that first day.
When she turns her head, does she not see me?
Or does she hide personal thoughts all the while?
I yearn to discover what's hidden in that smile.
I'd hear everything she had to say, I'd drink her being,
If she'd simply stay just to say something.
As she walks away, I think my heart will break,
My eyes full of blood from my nights awake,
I couldn't have eaten, how could I sleep?
But as she turns, tears ripple -- she decided to speak.
