Small me, humble me

Small me
I'd conquer my fear
and talk to you
to anyone

Small humble me
seemed so spontaneous
but when we'd talk
i'd quickly
turn away
my head

Small me
would look even smaller
by dropping my head
avoiding your eyes
afraid of what I would see

love
hate

i'd give anything
to drown in your eyes
to get lost in your eyes
but i'm so afraid
afraid of what?

while we sit next to each other
so close to each other
i can feel your breath
caressing my neck
occasionally
we talk
but I keep avoiding your eyes

small me
humble me
it's time i lift my head
look up
and see what i've been missing
out on for so long

it's time that
small me
humble me
starts
drowing in your eyes
getting lost in your eyes.
it's time
i open my eyes.

you can talk a 1,000 words
but that look in your eyes-
i've been missing out on
for so long-
will tell me what you're really thinking
really saying
that look
will tell me all.
