This one's a bit embarassing because it's from personal experience...but here it is, comment or don't.
LOOKING
You’re standing there in front of me
So close and far away
There are a thousand million words
I wish that I could say
To you
- - -
But shyness grips my throat
And it’s not letting go.
And awkwardness binds my legs so tight
And I hope it doesn’t show.
And blurry thoughts fill up my brain
And keep out all clear thought.
Eyesight’s all that I have left;
Looking’s all I’ve got.
Looking’s all I’ve got.
- - -
I’m watching you in the mirror
When I know you can’t see me
I’m watching you, pretending,
You might belong to me
It’s strange, the things that fill my head
When your eye catches mine
And I think you must be laughing
Somewhere deep in your mind
When our eyes meet, I turn away
Act like I’m being kind
So you don’t have to see me blush
And pretend that I am fine.
There’s other guys around but no,
I’m not hooked up with them
I love my friends but right now,
My eyes are glued to him.

Eyesight’s all that I have left;
Looking’s all I’ve got.
Looking’s all I’ve got.
- - -
I sit alone most all the time
And my eyes beg you to come,
Come sit with me and be the bold one;
And *** I feel so dumb!
Just look at me, or look my way,
And I all but fall apart
Somehow by never saying a word
You’ve totally trapped my heart
I know if you just spoke to me,
I’d snap out this so quick
Only your face has dug down in my mind
Like some annoying-but-handsome tick.
A conversation would make you real to me,
Instead of just what I desire.
And I know you’re not what I really want;
You probably sing in the choir.
But for now, when you come near,
You’ll burn my eyes like fire
