When I Say Hi

When I Say Hi

A Poem by Sarahthirk

When I Say Hi

Verse:
The second your foot brushed against mine
A million little sparks went off in my chest
The moment you sat to my left
Fire was lit on that side, then you gave me a test

‘cause the second your hand touched hers
I felt my heart jump off of a skyscraper
The instant her hand combed your hair
Cupid became a heartbreaker

Pre-Chorus:
Here I am
10:30 PM
Waiting on you
Even though
you’ve got a hand to hold
I just want you to see me through

Chorus:
When I say “hi”, I mean “I love you”
When I say “what’s up”, I mean “you are the most
captivating, amazing thing
to waltz right through the door
your deep laugh and your smile
got me beggin you for more
but what you don’t know is
When I say “how are you” I mean “let her go”
When I say “hi” I mean I love you

Verse:
The half a second you lifted your eyes to mine
I nearly died of a heart attack
The time you said that I was your friend
My brain said, I want so much more than that

The second you moved from me to her
I crashed down from my highest high
The moment you said “I love her”
Well, I just wanted to die______

Because

Pre-Chorus:
Here I am
10:30 PM
Waiting on you
Even though
you’ve got a hand to hold
I just want you to see me through

Chorus:
When I say “hi”, I mean “I love you”
When I say “what’s up”, I mean “you are the most
captivating, amazing thing
to waltz right through the door
your deep laugh and your smile
got me beggin you for more
but what you don’t know is
When I say “how are you” I mean “let her go”
When I say “hi” I mean I love you

Bridge:
Jumped right into the little pool
From the high dive
And I’m in so deep
Can’t get myself free
From this little thing called, maybe, you and me
I wonder if you ever lay awake at night
And think about my blue eyes
And wish that I was sleeping in your arms
And feel the rhythm of my heart
Feel the rhythm of love
I hope that’s not just the imagination of
me

‘cause

Pre-Chorus:
Here I am
10:30 PM
Waiting on you
Even though
you’ve got a hand to hold
I just want you to see me through

Chorus:
When I say “hi”, I mean “I love you”
When I say “what’s up”, I mean “you are the most
captivating, amazing thing
to waltz right through the door
your deep laugh and your smile
got me beggin you for more
but what you don’t know is
When I say “how are you” I mean “let her go”
When I say “hi” I mean “I love you”
When I say “what’s up”, I mean “you are the most
captivating, amazing thing
to waltz right through the door
your deep laugh and your smile
got me beggin you for more
but what you don’t know is
When I say “how are you” I mean “let her go”
When I say “hi” I mean “I love you”
I mean I love you
Oh, let her go
Oh I’m waiting on you
Even though you’ve got a hand to hold
Let her go
Just remember the next time I say hi
