I knew I was a coward,
didn’t have enough courage.
There were so many words,
but I just couldn’t say.
A lost mind with a scared heart,
there were too many risks
that I couldn’t take.
I repeated like a speech,
all the things I wanted to say.
But I ran out of words
as soon as I saw your face.
It happens more often than not,
sentences like “I love you a lot”
vanishes right before it forms.
I can’t even chalk it up to insecurities
when I know exactly why I can’t get
pass these terminologies.
That saying the truth,
the persona of my love
wouldn’t mean a thing
when all you want is
to quench your thirst,
rather than savor our love.
