I Do Not Dare

I do not dare I do not dare to ask the question I think about you every day I want to wake up beside you I am afraid of what you might say I hold you gently in my dreams I wake up not wanting to leave I need to stop and move on I don’t know how I am not that strong I am heart broken afraid and sad I am worried I do not dare so unfair

Hi Charmaine, this poem is about me when I was a shy young man , I found out years later that she had a big crush on me , I never told her , the one that got away:)))hugs ,,, maybe there is a parallel universe where we dare too

If she loves you, I dare you, she'd wants you to dare. And come on power up and go get her :)

Your words took stage and treated the reader to a glimpse of your heart and a peek at your soul. A sad and thought provoking piece worthy of a second look. Emile
