Intro: The uncertainty of a love undeclared.

Standing there like that

Looking at your feet and wondering

Why this day has to be this cold

Feeling shy about it all

Sitting here looking up at you

Listening hard for your heartbeat, wondering

what it would take to hold your hand this way

Feeling shy about it all

The little ilicit gifts

Furtively sneaked at odd breaks

The simple inadvertent smiles

Painting clealy the desire of the soul

Words are strangled in my throat

I shall not regret the missed chance

Fiddling with a pen for want of so much

Feeling shy about it all

That smile is bound to fade

A sigh escapes- of wishes imploding

Knowing you've caught me where it pains

And feeling shy about it all

Turn- I raise a hand

I want to fling echoes on all the world's walls

You horizontally put a finger accross your lips

Feeling shy about it all

Hush! My very soul seems to say

I nod, without an inkling what about

Hopping, another turn and we may be there

Feeling shy about it all
