I Came By… (to see you) You don’t see me. I see you, every day. I am afraid to say hello. You may say good-bye. I just want to ask, if you like dinner, have you eaten? Do you eat? Of course, you have… or will... or might… I believe I will bite my lip, until it bleeds. I wanted to know, what color is your favorite? Do you like your coffee black? If there is cracker jacks in-the-box, do we, should we, fight over the peanuts, and split the prize, or… I have no courage. I am lost, the map… blew out the cab window. The ship sailed, and left the baggage, on the peer. I am craving chocolate… It is my solution… to the mathematical problem of fear? If it only added up!

I loved this poem missed opportunities for fear of rejection wondering if your life would or could have been different if all your questions that you pondered on may have been answered if fear was not such an enemy Then eat Chocolat for consolation Been there done that Thank you Ann For a great poem ...Shirley
