Laggard

Since childhood, I've been like this
I've been trapped in silence
I'm awkward in expressing myself, always slow
Think first, move slowly
I want to shout and show myself to the world
But patience, everyday is a series of endurance
It flows slowly

My slowness will balance out anywhere
My thoughts will deepen anywhere
My feelings for you
My time holding you
Slowly getting closer

Now I try to show myself more
Today's me is different from yesterday
Still unfamiliar and awkward
To liberate myself within
Everyday flows slowly
My heart opens up

My slowness will balance out anywhere
My thoughts will deepen anywhere
My feelings for you
My time holding you
I'll step closer
I'll get to know who you are
Still unfamiliar and awkward
To liberate you within me like I do
