You sit two rows up in our morning classI know your coffee orderNever askedYou laugh too loud at jokes that are just okayStill it stays in my head all dayMy friends say“Just text first”I type it outThen erase every wordSave it in my drafts like a secret noteYou never see what I never wroteSomeday maybeYou’ll look my waySee me standing where I’ve always stayedHalfway hidingHalfway braveHeart on holdJust pressing saveSomeday maybeYou’ll feel this tooAll these tiny things I do for youUntil you say the words I’m scared to sayI’ll like you quietlyAnd wait for somedayYou ask“You coming out this Friday night?”I say“I might” even though I changed my flightYou never notice how I rearrange my plansJust to end up sitting near your handsYou tell me stories ’bout the ones you likedI nod alongYeahI pretend it’s fineSmiling like it doesn’t sting at allSaving every almostEvery close callMaybe you’re scared like meReading signs that you can’t quite seeMaybe we’re both too shyLiving in the “what if” side by sideIf one small word could change our livesWould you say yours if I said mine?
