You sit two rows up in our morning class I know your coffee order Never asked You laugh too loud at jokes that are just okay Still it stays in my head all day My friends say “Just text first” I type it out Then erase every word Save it in my drafts like a secret note You never see what I never wrote Someday maybe You’ll look my way See me standing where I’ve always stayed Halfway hiding Halfway brave Heart on hold Just pressing save Someday maybe You’ll feel this too All these tiny things I do for you Until you say the words I’m scared to say I’ll like you quietly And wait for someday You ask “You coming out this Friday night?” I say “I might ” even though I changed my flight You never notice how I rearrange my plans Just to end up sitting near your hands You tell me stories ’bout the ones you liked I nod along Yeah I pretend it’s fine Smiling like it doesn’t sting at all Saving every almost Every close call
Maybe you’re scared like me Reading signs that you can’t quite see Maybe we’re both too shy Living in the “what if” side by side If one small word could change our lives Would you say yours if I said mine?
