I wonder to myself, “Who are you?”

You’re a mystery to me.

I’m a detective without a clue.

Enlighten my world so I can see.

I wish I had the perfect thing to say

so about me you can be curious.

Maybe I’ll find the right phrase someday

then you won’t be so mysterious.

If I talk to you, will you talk back?

Please do so and don’t resist.

Then my introverted walls will crack

and hopefully will cease to exist.

I want to gain your trust

but it may take some time.

Please don’t step on the gas and leave me in the dust

and don’t play games with my mind.

Maybe I’ll just take the chance.

It won’t take long or a while.

I just want to look up and glance…

I only want to see you smile.
