I have spent days now
Running on the same spot,
I try to move forward or backward,
But no luck,
These liminal spaces
bring me to a standstill,
I'd make a decision
But it slips through my fingers,
I just want to say "Hello!" to you
But I can't get my lips to move.
The first time I heard you
I knew I could love you,
You took my breath away
What the hell do I say?
I don't believe in love at first sight,
It's too shallow,
But when I heard you sing,
I felt it in my marrow
I just want to go and talk to you
But I can't get my legs to move.
It's on the tip of my tongue
What I've wanted to say for so long.
I overthink everything
But the world goes away when you sing.
I down some dutch courage and move with a purpose
But then you speak to me and I go weak at the knees,
I just want to say "Hello!" to you
But I can't get my lips to move,
I just want to tell you "I like you"
But I am just an Idiot.
