It's been years and yet she still crosses his mind.
His pivotal moments with her;' frozen in memories of time.

Everyday was a new day and maybe he could get her to see,
this boy who seemed so shy, always kinda behind a tree.
He watched her up close and from a distance,
they knew each other well, she knew his existence.

What she didn't know was the boy's heart,
even though she held it all from the start.
The moment he saw her his first day of school,
to seeing her in the summer everyday at the pool.

Why couldn't he speak to her the way he wanted,
for truly they were friends and very close,
they could talk all day, but his love he couldn't expose.

So the years kept going on like they do,
and still too shy she never truly knew.

This boy never had met one quite like this;
so beautiful, so smart, and surprisingly funny.
She seemed to be the Angel god was granting,
but when he tried to tell her his feelings', his mind started running.

Devastated he got when he heard she was soon to marry,
his heart felt so heavy, so heavy just to carry.
He couldn't go and watch her confess her vow,
he just stayed home and cried and thought what now.

For a long time the boy knew she was the one,
and he let it slip and now she was gone.
He tried and tried with other girls,
but none made his heart dance; dance and twirl.

He would've given all just for a kiss,
for he knew she would be the best, the one meant not to miss.
But he lost that chance, cause his love he couldn't expose.
Trapped in silence, his heart felt words never arose.

So beautiful she was, like the leaves in the fall,
she could make time stand still, and if walking you'd come to a stall.
Just to see her beauty seemed like a curse, like a leaf falling from a tree
Cause God shouldn't let a Angel go out of heaven and just leave.

So many chances the boy had to confess his heart,
but when he was ready to; his words fell apart.
Now he lives with the memories and cracks through the seams,
because every now again he see's her in his dreams.


Many years later the boy came to find out,
that the girl liked him and waited throughout.
But he never took the chance being too shy,
and who knows what they lost; in the moments of time.

Both their lives' could be so different from what it is,
husband, wife, son or daughter who knows, but it wouldn't be this.

He often wonders if she thinks of him.
If he's happy, sad, or curious if he has kids.

Every time he thinks of her he ends it with a sigh,
Cause what would've happened if he wouldn't have been so shy.

Maybe soul mates if you believe in that stuff,
He just hopes she's happy, and the man she's with gives her enough.

Enough love and respect the boy knows she deserves,
God if only he hadn't been so reserved.
