as i reach my hands to touch her
i did it like a joke
but what i wanted to show her
was that i love her so

so i reach my hand to feel her
on her head a gentle pat
she grabbed my hand so tightly
if only courage i had

i would tell her "i love you"
something i kept inside of me
till then i couldn't say it
heck just let it be

seize the chance i was thinking
but damn i felt afraid
couldn't help not feeling
she'll turn and walk away

we grasp our hands so tightly
although i love her so
i released my hands so gently
that step i could not go

as i reflect on that minute
my heart felt much regret
i swear next time i'll do it
not another lost chance had
