I’d sit and watch,
As you chat and smile.
I’d listen mostly,
Think to interrupt once in a while.
But I couldn’t I’d stay silent,
Enchanted by you.
Your personality,
Shining through.
Your beauty stalling me,
I’d try oh so hard.
But I know I’d fail,
End up watching you depart.
And there’s the regret,
I’d hold for all life.
Too shy to speak up,
Try as I might.
So I’m glad I didn’t see you,
In a cafe or bar.
For there I could only,
Admire from afar.
I’m glad that I met you,
Here in this web.
Where my confidence oozes,
With no sign of dread.
I’m glad that you saw me,
What I hold inside.
For without your love found,
I’d be alone, trying not to hide.
