I remember that night quite well Went assuming you'd be there Knowing it would be hell Nervous shakes, biting lip Laughs too loud Daydream trip I slipped into thought Forgot where I was Summer night, boiling hot Crimson lipstick stained On my white button up Smile hiding heart pained You appear as I hoped Black shirt and tie My heart in throat choked After years of pining Unrequited love Was all I was finding Your dark hair twisted Light eyes to contrast I regretfully resisted No contact at all Not eye or speech Yet deeper I fall Fast-forward still Later that night Heat subsides to chill Lights reflect in my eyes Strung like pearls on a necklace And I'm hypnotized Standing there wishing Your hand was in mine Romanticizing, reminiscing A walk alone in the midnight garden An open frame of mind Instead of a heart hardened It wouldn't have felt so out of place For me to have met you there To have a silent and secret embrace For you, I felt so open But you never found me there I had just been hoping
