Hello

I just wanted to say hello
Letter, syllable, word, line, stanza, poem
This is nothing like the hello
You gave me today
I forced myself to meet your eyes
Return your hello
Your hello contained
Such innuendo and meaning
I was in such a state of bliss
I'm sure I was radiant
I had to wipe the smile off my face
Turn down the volume of my heart
Do you see what a simple hello
From you does to me?
When I know you're around
I do stupid things, lose control
Get shy and avoid only you
You are the one I'm afraid of
I need a disguise around you
For everyone else
