Second Glance, First Chance

I barely know you...
But I feel like I've known you forever.

I patiently wait for you to look my way.
Hoping to catch your eye for a second glance.

I'm nervous and cold...
But you have the warmth in your heart to give to me...

Please look at me.

The world is spinning and we can't stop it.
But we can pretend like we did.

You're something more than what they name you.
You're something far greater than what you think.

I'm in the shadows blending in.
Wishing you would see me.

I'm the wall flower that is caving in...
Hoping you will save me.

Though I'm a butterfly getting my wings to work...
Ready to fly into the sky.

But love is just like a butterfly.

The longer I chase it, the longer I can't catch it.
But with patience...
It will land on my shoulder.

And I will fall in love.
