Hi Was All You Said

I'm a shipwreck on a sandy beach, 
Tongue-tied, you say hi and you
Walk by, I can't pretend
I don't wish all the time
That you were mine.

I'm a bomb waiting to explode,
It's easier to deny these
Butterflies, your dark eyes, 
Tinted cherry red cheeks;
You looked at me, hi was all you said...
