Shoulda Woulda Coulda

I didn't talk to beauty, I shoulda
If I hadn't froze up, I woulda
I had the chance, I coulda

If I wasn't such a wuss, I shoulda
Just say hi, I woulda
And start a conversation, I coulda

She walked right by, as she shoulda
Didn't notice me, but woulda
If I just said hi, I coulda

I usually regret throwing away poems... I prefer to throw them in the Drafts pile.

At first I didn't really like this one. I almost deleted it but it grew on me. I'm glad I didn't. It was hard to write so I didn't want to throw it away.
