Who Should Take the First Step

An unknown crush--not so secret
Too shy to tell him--others will.
My heart afraid to let someone in,
Broken before, scattered still.
Can I forget the pain?
Words exchanged in whispers,
I know what they plan.
Scattered pieces slowly coming back...
is it too soon for my heart to heal?
Should I take this chance?
His eyes draw me in...
His smile enchants me.
Stolen glances across the room,
My heart races, my head screams.
I'm told to take the chance.
My heart agrees completely.
My mind is scared, remembering the past.
Another day passes--
my heart stays hidden,
my emotions stay unspoken.
Maybe someday I will no longer hide.
Until then I can only hope
that he will take that first step
and my fears will slip away.
