1 minute 15 Seconds
(I counted)
we stood there silent
I couldn't look at you
were you looking at me?
Why did we stay silent?
why did you stay?
the campus was emptying
but still we remained.
Were you trying to say something
as much as I was?
I had to restrain myself
from asking you out to coffee,
do you like coffee?
I don't.
But asking someone out for tea sounds weird.
Anxiety rumbles in my stomach
and my mind ricochets to the moon and back~
so many possibilities why you're there with me
any possible meaning behind your actions-
I'm so scared there isn't
I'm so scared there is
You stress me out, Blue,
what did you think
for that quiet time?
I thought of everything
and counted in my head
trying to find significance
in the amount of time we spend.
We were quiet
for 1 minute 15 seconds
and I couldn't see your face
legs shaking
locked in place
So many things to say
but in all my thinking
and guessing
and fretting
I couldn't(can't)
figure out
if saying those things
would be okay.
