You've infiltrated my brain without knowing
Every time I make you smile it leaves me glowing
Every time my phone lights up
My heart will jump
Is it you?
And I smile too.
Do you think about me?
If you did it would fill me with glee
I'm not good in person
My part of the conversation forced in.
Wanting to look at you unabashedly
So beautiful, and kind.
But here I am afraid to use any pick up lines
Would you care if I did?
Or would my fate be sealed with a lid.
What would you say?
Force a smile and an okay?
Ignore me like I'm not there
For all of these things I am unprepared.
Which is why I say nothing
Which will never turn into something,
But what can I do?
You'd think I lost a few screws.
Averting your gaze when you look at me,
Hoping maybe my stare was not the first thing you'd see.
A habit, it's become.
It's impossible to be undone
When I talk I make eye contact with everyone else
Heck, even that plant on the shelf.
You, however are a much different story
How can I see you without gazing at your glory.
Your eyes are a complete distraction
They seem to call for my action.
But fear of what you would say
Causes me to avert any gaze
What would I ever say?
I have no original ideas, the most I say is hey.
For that i apologize
If I had the guts I might roll the dice.
I would have had I not been afraid
Wasted an entire plan I had made.
I was going to ask you to be my date
To more than just formal if you took the bait.
Formal was going to be my start
To court you would become my new art
But these things you will never know.
Why? Well because I said so.
If you do read this
Then give me a kiss
Haha I'm kidding you won't know who you are
If it is you, you won't figure it out, you wouldn't think that far.
If you asked who it was and demanded a straight answer.
I might not prance around it like a dancer.
I would most likely be honest
But I would not completely express my fondness.
Of course none of this matters, especially not the feelings I list
Why? Because you will never read this.  
It says so in the title you read.
What is it again? Oh yes
Words never said
