;

we catch eyes

across the room

i wonder if you’re wondering

what i’m thinking, too.

i don’t know if

i’ll ever know how

we talk so much but say so little.

i want to ask you

but i’m afraid of the answer.

i want to know you

but i’m afraid you’ll know me.

i want to see you

every day

and just talk to you

and just smile at you

and just see you smile

right back at me.

i don’t want to know how you feel,

i just want to be able to hope.

and i want to hold onto that hope,

and i want to feel that hope,

and i want to sit here and wonder,

and stew in my uncertainty

and wait for the moments when my phone lights up

and i see your name

and i can just imagine our future together.
