I look at you from a far

I can see you
But you can't see me


I long to tell you
To ask you
Just to make any excuse to talk with you
But I am trembling with fear


I watch you pass me by
I am but a fool


I will never have the strength to speak
I will never have the strength to move


I was in love with you
But I was sure you didn't know of me


What a fool I am, to be so shy?



Another day passes
Another chance is gone
Another opportunity is wasted



You walk past me again
I approach you slowly, but surely


You wave at me, you notice me


Finally I talk to you
Finally I can tell you


This unknown courage, this unknown strength, now flowing through me


I have the strength now to speak
I have the strength now to move


I can't help but blush as you take my hand
You too were shy, all the while
We were the same



Finally a day has been embraced
Finally a chance has been taken
Finally an opportunity is used


As we walk away together
Hand in hand
I turn to hide my beaming smile


I am not afraid to speak
I am not afraid to cease a moment
I am not afraid to love


I am shy no longer.
