A shy Sight

I have seen you a million times
but I've never looked at you
the way I did today

It was a shy sight
because I saw you
but you looked different.
You spoke differently
and you froze time

I've heard you speak a million times
but I've never listened to you
the way I did today

I was shy to respond
because I started noticing
which words I use around you.
Being around you felt different

I have been around you a million times
but never have I ever
felt your presence
the way I did today

You moved so beautifully
and I was shy to walk with you.
It was such a shy sight
to think that I Mr. Confidence
would be lost for words.

Is this what it feels like
to be shot by cupids arrow.
Instead of leaving you dead
It leaves you shy.
