and only if I dared
she walked along with me,
kept in my pocket procrastinating
letter got soiled,
when I picked up courage
letters immersed in sweat
too clumsy to deliver.
one step forward
two back,
I just revolved as planets
without venturing.
her smile spured me
died inside like snakes hissing,
losing for a while
that bite of courage missing in me.
I never let my mind
too timid,
she did not open up
perhaps scorn timidity
or never felt my feeling.
It went on
until she lost to other,
my love rotting inside
eat me away
many times afer,
timid do not love
nor express
waiting everlastingly for others reaction.
