Nervousness

Butterflies in my stomach
Hard to speak with no words
Words I want to say
But can't find the courage

Can't make eye contact
Knowing I will break
Because that's what happens
When you stare into my eyes

Face turning red with every hello
With every handshake you offer
I stare and laugh nervously
Just hoping you won't notice

Nervousness makes us brave
I feel brave when I'm around you
Remember how this feels
To want to be wanted again

Will my nervousness go away
Maybe it is never ending
Or all I need to remove it
Is you agreeing to be with me
