There she is
Sitting across a table
Just out of my reach
But still available
I cannot muster the courage
I cannot find the words
How do I say it?
When is the time?
What do I have to offer?
Why would she want me?
These questions taunt me
Probing into my head
Searching for the answer
To questions in my brain
Why can’t I just ask?
What the hell am I waiting for?
Why is this so hard?
Does it really matter?
Slowly in my mind
I answer these questions
She works with me
So that is why I can’t
I’ve been told its bad
That it leads to conflict
What shall I do?
How long will I wait?
Will it be too long?
What would she say?
I will probably never know
I’m too afraid to ask
To scared to ruin a work relationship
Something personal shouldn’t overlap
But every morning
I can’t help but wonder
When she smiles and says “Hello”
If at some point she’s considered it
I shall never know
Because of my fears
I shy away
From what could be my dream girl
Author notes
I girl I work with and wish I didn't just so I could ask her out. They aways say you shouldn't date people you work with. So I've never asked. But I think about it daily.

thanks for the comment....I've pretty much forgot about even bothering to ask her...but if one of us is going to be leaving this job at some point you can bet your ass I'll be asking her out...
I've missed chatting with you too....hopefully I'll catch you online sometime to chit chat and see whats been going on in your life...I've been good myself.
Take care

aww, you should totally go for it. remember, the ones you matter don't care, and the ones who care don't matter.
this is a very well written poem and i wish you the best of luck with this new love interest.
she should consider herself lucky to have you considering her.
oh, and i've missed you hope you've been doing well these days.

You could always quit. Then you’d be able to ask her out.
I know where you are coming from. I had someone that I was really interested in, and we worked together. Years later I came to find out that she had a thing for me. Damn. It’s good to know I am not alone, and hopefully you will do what your heart tells you.
