Oh I Wanted To

I didn't tell her
how much I like her smile
but oh I wanted to.
I didn't tell her
that she was just my style
but oh I wanted to.

I didn't take the occasion
to ask her for a dance,
I didn't entertain the
thoughts of a romance.

I didn't kiss her lips.
I didn't linger within
the touch of her fingertips.
But oh I wanted to,
and if only she had wanted to
I would have too.

Ah, I think everyone can relate.
Sometimes you just let it slide..
too shy.. or (otherwise) occupied, or just waiting for life to give you a cue.

Thank you, James. A fine and wistful tale of "what might have been." We've all been there, and you have certainly captured the core essence of that "sigh!" feeling.

How darling this is. I certainly could relate to this in memory of my younger years. Glad you shared this with us.

I understand the fear and love behind putting yourself out there for someone and looking for them to return what your feeling its scary but the reward for doing it can be so worth it. Really enjoyed it.
