Awkward Silence
I see you.
You see me.
Our eyes meet,
But out mouths don't speak.
We stare
At different eyes, face, and hair
Wanting to express feelings we can't bare,
But we both look away scared.
Everyday ours eyes meet
And we still don't speak
Holding in feelings we can't bare
Hoping one day we won't be scared.
Unfortunately, we must face reality
That neither one of us will
Gain enough courage to speak
So we go on speechless
Wondering what we could have been
...Wondering what we could be.
We would have known
If only we'd just speak
Instead of walking pass
Each other every day
Silently.
