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.
