Shy. Composed by clockwork, undone by six inches of lace.
Shy. Your secret admirer, unless you're her patient
Shy. Deletes every message before the ninth elevator ride
Shy. The shy one who reads you aloud
Shy. Timid engineer who reads waves and pulses alike.
Shy. Deliberately slow knitter whose hips can't wait at all.
Shy. Keeps your trail jacket pressed against her cheek.
Shy. Drawn-out in her head, trembling the second you look.
Shy. She knows your gaze is the only real spotlight.
Shy. Shy in daylight — filthy editor after midnight.
Shy. Carefully slow fingers — racing pulse underneath.
