Hardly

could i be the one thing

missing from your life

and from your everyday?

i need you to be beside me,

why don't you call me and we'll see?

i see you having coffee

you are almost beside me,

laughing with your friends.

i tell lorraine to look at you,

i tell her i need to tell you

i don't know you

but i want to

i just can't leave here

without telling you --

just how lonely i've been lately.

you are just as lonely, maybe?

we should go out for some coffee.

i wonder how i can

give you my phone number,

and not be so afraid?

i ask lorraine to give it to you

when i go to the washroom.

i return to the table

i look, but i'm unable

to find you anywhere.

i ask lorraine to look for you,

i tell her i need to tell you

don't know you

but i want to

i just can't leave here

without telling you --

just how lonely i've been lately.

you are just as lonely, maybe?

we should go out for some coffee

on the way out the door

lorraine lets me know that she went up to you

and gave you my number and said

'call him or else he'll be sad.'

and i waited, for two weeks and

i realized that you'd never call me

how could i have been so stupid

i should have gone up to you and

told you myself how you make me feel.
