Say Any Something

I don't know but want to, 
Afraid to yet not completely
Confused yet extremely intrigued
I think of her and want to say
It's the truth about it all 
That amazes me 
I see the beauty beyond her surface
Constantly 
Beyond her red hair
And grand ear rings
She's herself 
I want to show her "me"
I find myself holding my breath 
Wanting to say something 
Anything 
It's admittance to being vulnerable 
Congratulations insanity 
I don't even know her name
The first letter I do
But what do I say
I have no game
Because it has no rules 
Hence why I feel confused
Focused on the wrong one
Permission to redirect Your Honor
On the grounds of speculation 
Hearsay not welcome 
No one knows
Because I don't how to say
So I look at her silently 
Not enough falling stars
To wish 
So I hope one day soon
I'll get tired of being quiet
Until I can stop ignoring my mind's Screams
SAY ANY SOMETHING
