Verse 1
Short hair glowin’ in the afternoon light
Dark skin magic, yeah she caught my sight
Not complicated, just cute in her way
When she walked past the park, the world slipped away
Forgot about time, forgot about me
Forgot about chasing what money could be
In that moment, yeah nothing was mine
But somehow she still became the shine
Pre-Chorus
Heart racing fast but my feet stayed still
Shyness had me trapped against my will
Told my boys “nah, I’m good, I’m fine”
But fear of rejection stole my time
Chorus
I was scared to speak, scared to fall
Scared she wouldn’t see me at all
But love don’t wait, love don’t pause
I almost lost her to my own flaws
She was the light when my days felt gray
The shine in my life, yeah she showed the way
Even when I felt small, unseen, confined
She was the glow that quieted my mind
Verse 2
Then one day at the shop, she said my name
Called me cute like it was nothin’ strange
Asked for my number, calm, no display
I said “yeah” but my face gave nothing away
Inside I was screaming, heart on fire
Trying hard not to show desire
Poker face but my soul was loud
Shy boy energy, lost in the crowd
Pre-Chorus 2
We talked for hours, days turned late
Learning hearts, letting fate create
Then she said, “I’m alone tonight
Can you come through?” — damn, life got real right
Chorus
I checked my pockets, reality hit
No cash, no food, just faith and grit
Love calling me but my fridge was empty
Still I wanted her next to me
She don’t know the weight that I carry inside
The hunger, the grind, the silent pride
But for her smile, I’d run that race
Turn struggle into something I could face
Bridge
So I hustle for the moment
Hustle for the chance
Not just for pleasure
But for romance
Trying to be a man she can believe
Even when I got barely anything
Love don’t ask if you ready or rich
It just arrives and flips the switch
Final Chorus
I was shy, yeah I almost missed it
Almost let fear be the end of it
But she saw me before I spoke
Saw the truth behind the broke
Short hair, dark skin, heart so pure
In a life unsure, she felt secure
I may be low, but my dreams are high
And she’s the reason I still try
Outro
If you pass by the park someday
And feel the world just fade away
That’s love, quiet, deep, and true
And yeah… this song is about you
