Get lost in me
When we first met,
we only pretended to be friends
But we always knew,
our love started before the first kiss
Before the first word was spoken
Our minds connected from the first day
And I wanted to say
Darling, how are you?
Don't be silent, do you see me?
How many times did you hide these feelings?
You were secretly in love with me
You always looked at me,
you chased me with your eyes.
And I was afraid to speak to you
But I wanted to and I know you did too
Each time I saw you, I thought
We need more time, time, time
with you, my Darling
Time to let these feelings out
We got lost playing the game
This game where we are afraid to speak, to act
we pretended not to spark
And I wanted to say
Tell me your dreams
Get lost in me
And I always knew, you knew too
We are more than just friends
And I always thought
Let's put an end to this charade
We needed very little to decide
We needed very little to burn
And still you keep looking at me
But now we are together, just remember
We were never just friends
Now Shut Up! and get lost in me
we only pretended to be friends
But we always knew,
our love started before the first kiss
Before the first word was spoken
Our minds connected from the first day
And I wanted to say
Darling, how are you?
Don't be silent, do you see me?
How many times did you hide these feelings?
You were secretly in love with me
You always looked at me,
you chased me with your eyes.
And I was afraid to speak to you
But I wanted to and I know you did too
Each time I saw you, I thought
We need more time, time, time
with you, my Darling
Time to let these feelings out
We got lost playing the game
This game where we are afraid to speak, to act
we pretended not to spark
And I wanted to say
Tell me your dreams
Get lost in me
And I always knew, you knew too
We are more than just friends
And I always thought
Let's put an end to this charade
We needed very little to decide
We needed very little to burn
And still you keep looking at me
But now we are together, just remember
We were never just friends
Now Shut Up! and get lost in me
Author's Note
I was just thinking how often we keep our feelings to ourselves out of fear or anxiety. So I wanted to write something about that hesitation and anticipation that can exist with someone we are attracted to and want to get close to. I am trying to stay positive with my writing for a moment even if I am not feeling very positive right now.

How we're the first to comment, we can't figure. But this should resonate with so many, because of the emotions and no setting. This could roll all the way back to high school and beyond, tight work X Factor

Thanks I_IS_ME, you warmed my heart with your comment. I thought maybe this is to sappy for here. :) But you have made me really happy with your comment. Your the best. 💖

Yeah, but then you would lose the emotion of being mad at yourself for not acting or saying something! : )
Very insightful words on shyness, awkwardness and anxiety.
Regards "....get lost in me"! That could be taken in two ways! : )

Brava, Kristina❣❣ I enjoy the rich romance in this piece. These two passages I enjoyed most,
"Don't be silent, do you see me?" A profound question...there are not many people in our lives that we see completely and even fewer that we see and accept unconditionally.
"Now Shut Up! and get lost in me" Such a wonderfully romantic command. How could one but answer "Yes ma'am, right away ma'am❣❣"

Oh GW, it is a profound question and I knew you would see past the surface of it. Romantic commands are the most enjoyable. :) 💖 Thanks for commenting.

Beautifully captured and well rendered. It isn't often I read emotional exposition that is unfettered by agenda or loss, with the purity of it's expression intact. 💖🙏

Thanks Daniel, you have no idea how amazing that makes me feel. If I can offer something that you do not see often and enjoy, it feels like I was able to give back a little for your encouragement and grace. I hope you have an amazing holiday weekend. 💖

Thanks fiveamtuesday (that's way to early on a Tuesday). I had not really thought of it like a catchy tune until you said it. :) I am glad you stopped by to read something of mine and I really like your comment. 💖

Dear K,
I absolutely adore your wide open thought process. It’s so utterly sweet and paves the way for others, like myself, to follow suit and not get hung up and lost in our own way to express something so dear.
I thoroughly enjoyed following this love story and the tinge of regret not owning true feelings from the first second. Part of me can’t help but feel that’s part of the charming love story you tell the generations to come as to how you met etc. but I also get the other side of that and the frustration of realizing time gone away without acknowledging true feelings. This was such a treat to read. H🌷

Thanks H, I am lost for words. That is such a lovely thing to say, it means so much to me. You really blew me away with that comment. ❤️
I love that you saw both sides of this. The combination of frustration, anxiety, doubt, regret, and insecurities that sometimes hold us back in so many things. It is so easy for us to think we are the only ones with these feelings and that everyone else is strong and confident. And then the beauty that can come from overcoming those things.
You really made me feel good with this comment. I can promise you that this jury needs no deliberation. People like you are beautiful.

This was very sweet. It's a beautiful expression, and kind of summed up my experiences with shyness. I had a few people who I crushed on pretty hard growing up, but I was so timid that I never pursued them further. I have some regrets, but I think things are a bit better for me now. Writing has helped me in more than one area... and confidence is one ❤️
I think fear keeps a lot of people from doing things that might be really good for them. That goes well beyond relationships too. Excellent writing, Kristina. It's a very relatable feeling... 😊

Thanks NB, I think it would be impossible to find someone with no regrets or insecurities but trying to overcome these things is part of our journey. I am glad you found writing as part of yours and decided to share that part of you because it would be sad to think of this place without your beautiful writing.
Fear can definitely hold us back from our potential in just about anything. I am always afraid to post something because I don't feel good enough but I really appreciate the great feedback you have given me, it encourages me to continue. ❤️

There is a bold ... but fragile honesty in this ... I felt it ... beautiful balance with this one ... full of poetic credibility ...

Re. Get lost in me
A lot of wonder and ultimate command
You can only dance around attraction for so long and then someone has to break the ice and someone else has to crawl across broken glass
