3. this fear

I wish I could say I was brave
courageous enough to do what my heart says
One that seizes opportunity
knowing the sight of you was a miracle
I let it go to waste

The balls of my feet rocked with anxiety
mind and body not sure where to head
Oh how I wish I was able to tell them
tell them I stood up, walked over
did something

I stood there unmoving
paralyzed by the fears that have always bound me
Staring from not so afar
as you still drank in the words
Oh how I wish it was my words you just smiled a little to

if only

If only I stopped being a coward
but I was a lucky bastard
because fate grazed me with you again
