Opportunity Lost

I never realized I missed her
till I saw her there today
I want to tell her that I love her
but I’ve got no words to say
I never knew how much I’d lost
nor what had been the cost
till I saw it plain in front of me
like a taunting prize to see

I want to tell her that I want her
but I doubt she’ll understand
I want to tell her that I need her
that I’m not just another man
I want to look in to her eyes
and share with her my pain
I want to grow inside her love
until I’m me again

I want to tell her what she means to me
because I don’t think that she knows
that what I keep inside me is
ten times the part that shows

tis a better man than I am
who can put these words to speech
lest in sharing how I feel
our friendship I may breech

I know that she won’t want me
It’s a fact that I’ll accept
but it’s another thing completely
to be emotionally in check

I apologize for putting
how I feel in written word
I’ve simply got no outlet for
these feelings left unheard
