I wish I could tell you,

But I can't speak.

I wish I could show you,

But I'm too scared.

There you are before me,

Perfect in my eyes

I want to say you are beautiful,

But words fail my tongue.

We are together everyday

Only because of our job, I know.

Yet I can never spill my heart out,

I'm so confused.

Now here you are again

I told myself I am ready,

I open my mouth to speak,

Then you look me in the eye.

The moment is gone again

And as you walk to the door,

Silently staring, I let you pass by.
