And I wish I lost my shyness, just to once be able to look him in the eyes. Alas, my bravery is not enough and my gaze lowers itself to admire the floor. I begin to notice the pebbles and scuff marks on the ground. Birds pecking at bread crumbs on a distant sidewalk. Looking at most anything else. Noticing the way my pulse races as he walks by Just,     not the color of his eyes. I cannot look at him. I feel as though my intentions will burn and I will be left barren. He would know how much he means to me.

Shy Eyes
And I wish I lost my shyness, just to once be able to look him in the eyes. Alas, my bravery is not enough and my gaze lowers itself to admire the floor. I begin to notice the pebbles and scuff marks on the ground. Birds pecking at bread crumbs on a distant sidewalk. Looking at most anything else. Noticing the way my pulse races as he walks by Just,     not the color of his eyes. I cannot look at him. I feel as though my intentions will burn and I will be left barren. He would know how much he means to me.
