From across the room your smile beckons,
Warming even the dreariest days.
My heart flutters lightly, my mind races,
Yet my fears hold too much sway.

Perhaps one day the opportunity will open,
And maybe then my walls will crumble.
If only I could convince myself to take the first step,
Alas, for now I’ll simply remain quiet and humble.

I most certainly welcome a warm approach,
In the event you feel the slightest interest.
I have simply been unable thus far,
To break down my own defenses.

One day… one day…
