She sat by the window gazing fondly out at the night
Her vision was dimmed by the daydream flickering lightly in her sight
She wanted oh so badly to tell him that she missed him every hour
But was too scared that if she asked outright the answer would be sour
He sat by his computer squinting into the hazy light
The blinking icon of the message died before it could take flight
He wanted oh so badly to tell her that he'd made a huge mistake
But he was too worried he'd hurt her more with every passing day
These two poor creatures wait and scream silently into the void
Hoping the other would hear those calls never given a voice
Slowly they drifted farther apart in the absence of their cries
Never to know how badly they needed each other in their lives
Each one made up fantasies of what the other must be thinking
But never got up the courage to actually ask - and now the ship is sinking
It's easy to predict what the sad moral of this rhyme might end up being
But that won't stop these two from ruining any chance of finding love worth keeping
