It's funny how a stranger walking down the street
Can one day make your heart skip a beat
But I know you would never feel the same
When people speak my name,
You give a blank stare and look away

But that's because I've never even said hello to you
I just know,
You'll never think of me the way I want you to
You'll never grab my hand, the way you do the swing set
Scared, you'll fall in the sand box
I'm sure your heart swells every time
The swing goes a bit too high up
For I would never be enough
For your heart to do that when we
Make eye contact like mine

As the wind makes hair fly to your face
I feel my heart race
All of a sudden you stop
For a moment I think I got caught
Your eyes wonder
While my heart ponders

Then I realize you're looking at a tree
Instead of looking at me
You're looking at initials
Written by strangers who are now probably single

Oh, how you wish to no longer starve
How you long to carve
With a special someone

I see my chances aren't done
After all
I just hope I don't fall
Without you
Because I'll do
Everything in my power
To create not only a blossoming flower, but a tree
For us to carve
That way you will no longer starve
