I was listening to a song that reminded me of you
and I missed it when you called out my name
I was concentrating on looking cute and not falling on my face
and I missed the moment when you would have caught me
I was waiting for you to come speak to me
and I missed the perfect chance to talk to you
I wanted you to hold me but didn't want to look desperate
and I sent you all of the wrong signals
I waited for you where I knew you were sure to walk by
and I missed it when you went looking for me
I was desperate to see you
and yet terrified of meeting your eyes
I thought I was being so obvious whenever I was around you
and I missed it when everything when right over your head
I thought you didn't want me
and I didn't see the longing in your eyes
I knew in my heart your were aching for somebody else
and in my pain, I never saw the pain I was causing you
I was preoccupied with everything going on
and I missed your hand reaching for mine
I wanted you to ask me to dance
and so I never took my turn around the floor
I never knew what to say around you
and I made you believe I didn't care

I know that I've been maddening, frustrating, confusing, and more
but still, you never gave up on me, gave up on us
I'm so thankful for your persistence, and patience too
we are together now- because of you
