Forty times

Forty times

I saw you forty times and said nothing.

He saw you once and said "hi"

And

Now you are his.

I waited for the perfect moment and

He just took once .

And that's the whole story.

I knew your favourite spot by the wall.

Your laugh from across the room.

The way you touched your hair when you were feeling uncomfortable.

He didn't know any of that but he knew how to walk up.

And me ?

I just watched .

forty times .

Then I just stopped counting.

Now you're a could've been

And almost said something.

And yeah , I liked her once

and he's the one who gets to call you baby.
