i thought
i could
walk right up to her and say
any thing
that came
to my head and she would be
duly impressed
with my
charm and wit and choice of words, but
you know
how these
things end up the last three steps
to her seem like a thousand miles
and a contrary look has replaced the smile
and once again the thoughts and
insecurities fought
rage once more inside of me

i thought
i would
take the next step to her heart
but my
mind closed
all the doors and locked them tight
so now
stand down
and build up courage one more time
breathe deep
be me
and if that's not enough to please
then it was never meant to be
its not how many times you fail
it's going on til you prevail

Wow!

Nice Write.

Nice

thank you

I could feel the indecision, the insecurity, the apprehension that we create in our own minds. Wonderful work.
