Because it's you

I stood there quiet, heart in hand,

Kinda hoping you'd understand.

I didn’t say much, just looked your way,

But girl, you made my whole day.

I laughed too loud, I tied my shoes wrong,

Wrote your name in every song.

You didn’t see—but that’s okay,

I still smiled like it was May. 🌼

I might’ve been a little late,

To say it right, or call it fate.

But I was there—in hoodie and shoes,

Falling for you with nothing to lose.

. . .

. . .

. . .

I stayed. I stayed. I stayed.

. . .

. . .

. . .

I stayed when you passed me by,

When you waved at some other guy.

I stayed when my heart said, “Run!”

But also whispered, “She’s the one.”

You never knew, but that’s alright,

I still wished you sweet dreams every night.

Even if you never looked my way,

I kinda hoped… you'd look someday.

And maybe I was silly too—

Waiting like those boys do.

But even if love never came my way,

I'd still choose you every day.

So if one day you turn and see,

No one there... except maybe me—

Just know I waited, yeah it’s true,

Not because I had to...

Just because it’s you.
