We awkwardly didn’t look
Carefully avoiding eye-to-eye
Like children, young children, children too shy
To even make contact visually – you and me
We were afraid to talk, to seem
Like one of us wanted to confront the other
Your intentions unclear, but mine only pure
A simple hello would suffice
We awkwardly didn’t look
As if we were shaking our heads side to side,
Carefully avoiding eye-to-eye
As though it would lead to an embrace
We awkwardly didn’t look
So I turned to my forever-ghost
And we spoke in such a way
That you left…
I was too scared, you didn’t care
Or maybe you were scared too;
I’ll never know, and it just goes to show
That I will probably never know you.
I’m sorry.
