Before August came, may I say

That an unfamiliar face appeared today

Tall, lanky, pale with black hair

An appearance that landed an infatuation at stare

I\'d sit at the wall with my lunch on my thighs

I was a shy soon-to-be sophomore, afraid of saying hi

Not knowing your name, your grade level, or even your friends

But my heart fluttered at a stranger, there was no end

I couldn\'t help but stare at such a mysterious grace

And then you turned around and I.. well..ran away

Like any innocent sophomore I fell for you deeply

We would message all day and night, till I was sleepy

I regret my insecurity, my shyness was a mess

You were shy too, you didn\'t even know how to dress

Because we were shy of being ourselves around each other

It must have been what ended our love, we didn\'t even hold hands

What a bother

You could have been my first kiss, and I could have been yours too

But to forcefully part ways, and start off as new.
