The Unsent Message

I sit here staring at my buddy list
Waiting for him to come online
Suddenly I see his screen name appear
It makes my heart jump every time

I double click on his screen name
And the message box appears
I type in a simple hello
But it always stops right here

Right before I press Send
Doubts enter my nervous mind
The fear I feel makes me hesitate
And I close the box every time

I continue staring at the screen
Waiting for his message to me
I keep hoping I'll hear that ring
But disappointment is all I receive

For hours and days this goes on
Unable to divert myself away
Sometimes I can't help but wish
That he's sitting there, doing just the same
