it's turned out that before never
did I ever love like this before
though maybe
seeming wise
when much, much younger
a grand jackhammer
who didn't stammer
when it came to laying out
the words required
in deadly stealth and prefect grammar
I looked for you
but you did not happen by
you tarried coyly
perhaps amused
at the thought of what I'd do
if my façade
had taken leave and left me
old
and not so bold
would I have
a bit of swagger left
or maybe fear'd leave me bereft
of any type of courage
just to broach
a small hello
an I love you
here we go
for this could surely be the
knell of death chimed
loud and clear
but I'm feeling good
I overcame the fear
now awaiting what you'll say
this could be the day
I'll hold you near
and now it's before never
and I'll find out if there's ever
any sense
or recompense
for being me
