Maybe I should have told you sooner
That I thought you were wonderful?
Maybe I should have pushed you a bit more
Or forced my affections on you?
Maybe I should have put all my cards on the table
At the very beginning?
Maybe I should have made the supreme effort
To enhance this obvious connection?
Maybe I should not have held back my feelings
For fear of having them rejected by you?
Maybe I should not have ruffled your feathers
Quite so many times - unintentionally?
Maybe I should not have craved your attention
Every minute of every day?
Maybe we should have cut to the chase - point blank.....
Instead...........we are just passing ships in the night.
