Just Say Hi
You get onto the bus and sit down,
Your heart starts thumping like crazy, because
Across the aisle, out of nowhere, you see that kid—
That day on the school camping trip
Like the rest of your life
When you were walking by yourself
Silently, head hung down, heart hurting
Looking for a place to cry
And out of nowhere, that kid met your eyes
But instead of looking away
That kid said, “Hello.”
And as you look at those eyes now,
You can still feel the sound of those lips pronouncing your name.
You want to speak, but you're scar
