Hopeless Romantic

I’m hopelessly shy
I’m too shy to talk
I can’t even say hi
I turn the other way and walk

I’m sitting here dreaming
Can’t get you out of my head
Thoughts of you are streaming
Why’s my face turning red?

When I hear your voice
I think angels rejoice
I could hear you talk for years 
Your voice is music to my ears

I could watch you forever
I can’t get enough of the view
I’ve had enough of this weather
But never enough of you 

I’m singing corny songs in my head
I think about all the words you’ve said 
I think about your hair and beard and such
Now I’m thinking way too much 

I wouldn’t know what to do
If you ever found out the truth
I’m writing poems about you
And you literally have no clue

One sided love never feels good
I always care more than I should
I’m hopelessly shy, will this ever end?
Will we ever be more than friends?
