# I'm too shy to ask, so I put on a mask

so I put on a mask.
I hope my loneliness ceases.

If you think I am the one
I'll always be true,
but if you think I'm a zero
I'll be nothing to you.

I'll give you my numbers
you might think they're high
but split them in half

The numbers:

12645
14073
15201
13925
14196
13550
6497


What do I say, and what do you answer?

• So unconventional encoding = puzzles on here? See them a lot lately but I don't get the thrill – user1886419 Sep 29 '16 at 23:02
• @user1886419 Yes, in my opinion it's considered a puzzle because it fits the cipher tag and plus you also have to figure out the algorithm rather than just the encoding/encryption. He also gives enough clues in the riddle in order to do that, which differentiates it from poor-quality code puzzles. Of course it's a personal preference whether you like these or not, but I certainly think they're on-topic. – user14478 Sep 30 '16 at 8:29

Because

Convert all numbers from decimal to binary, then split all results in half and treat them as bytes; Then convert back to ASCII.
