Where you want to talk to someone you find special, but you just can’t?

You know, when the person is RIGHT THERE and the words you wanna say are right on the tip of your tongue, yet your mouth isn’t letting any air out, or your vocal chords aren’t making the sounds you want.

When you feel your stomach go in knots as you look at them?  Not butterflies, but tight, painful knots that even when you leave the room he’s in and are on the other side of the building, they’re still there?  And they’re not bad knots, either.  They’re not knots from hating them or feeling sick, but rather nervous knots.  Nervous knots being made because you don’t want to say the wrong words, or make him think the wrong thoughts about you.

When this guy plays your favorite song, yet you don’t have the courage to say “Hey, that sounds nice” or “You did a great job.  Mind if I join in?”.

When he looks at you and smiles a thousand times, yet you just wave and walk away.

When the end of the night comes and you haven’t spoken a word to him.  That guilt you feel and that wonder of “What does he think of me?  Does he think I could be a good friend… maybe more?”.

When you’re laying in your bed at 3 am, just thinking about that one person.  That one special person that you just can’t get off your mind.  That one person you wish was right next to you.  That one person that you wish you could have five minutes with.  Just five minutes, alone, to talk about whatever your minds take you.

I need to be braver and at least approach him and say hello next week.  Or just conveniently go to Moe’s and buy some tacos.  You know, cuz I can be good at being a creep, but not starting a conversation with a guy that looks like Jim Halpert.
