Thoughts about a first attempted encounter.
I saw you today,
or maybe I didn't
Maybe it was at the beach, up at the mountains, or at the mall
Seeing you, you looked so tired and all alone
I spied your hand as you came nearer, "No ring",

Two feet away, it's now or never,
"Hello"
Your eyes never left the ground
Maybe your mind was elsewhere
I don't know

I took a risk and said "Hello"
Perhaps we weren't meant to be
Perhaps I chose the wrong time
Perhaps you are not THE ONE

Will I try again?
Will I risk again?
Yes, because we are both worth it
Please lift up your eyes when I say "Hello".
