The High School Crush

I know it was a long time ago In a place now far away But way back then I had a crush on you That I remember still today I never acted on it then And am in no position to do so now But thought I would just let you know And maybe make you smile some how I would write your name next to mine In my spiral class notebook Along with poems about making love to you On pages nobody else could look I tried talking to you a time or two But the words just got in my way I’d hem and haw and shuffle my feet Trying to think of something clever to say I don’t even know if you knew me then Let alone remember me now today But I’m glad to learn from mutual friends That your life turned out okay I am married now and much in love So my life turned out just great I wonder sometimes what you’d have said Had I the courage to ask you for a date

like very much! think some or most can relate. we all get shots in life, it is up to us to take them. most of us don't so we live a life of " what ifs instead of oh' well".
