I'Ll Never Know

Every night when I close my eyes to sleep I wish somehow you'd been mine to keep If only I'd had the courage to just say hello But I suppose that's a life I'll never know I saw you once leaned up against your van Your face lit up while talking of your plans Your smile was wide as you laughed out loud Oh, how I yearned to be a part of your crowd Girls adored you and to your side they'd leap But I knew deep down I could never compete They were pretty and popular, which I was not And only in my dreams was it me you sought Im sure you didn't realize my feelings for you But I was painfully shy and that wouldn't do It's not your fault that I couldn't confess The words to you I longed to express So every night when I close my eyes to sleep I still wish somehow you'd been mine to keep If only I'd had the courage to just say hello But I suppose that's a life I'll never know

Sometimes we just cant express how we feel openly, as we fear what would be the reaction. Your love is so evident here and i love the lines“ So every night when I close my eyes to sleep I still wish somehow you'd been mine to keep” so touching and soulful! You’ve expressed with rhymes that flow so beautifully! Stunning poem really
