Following her liveliness,
Catching up with her freshness,
I was resolute on confronting her,
Then I approached her,
Meeting her eyes,
How I wanted to say you look pretty,
How I wanted to embrace in her arms,
How I wanted to walk beside her for the lifetime,
How I wanted to covet her all for myself,
How I wanted to have her my reason to smile,
Instead I said we were not compatible enough,
Instead I said our love was fragile,
Instead I said she could find someone better in a while,
Instead I said it was better to move on with life,
Instead I cowardly said my head,
Instead I buried those feelings in my heart,
Instead I walked away.
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you...
-Maya Angelou
