What dare do I say?
When you are silent in that way
Nothing at all
Nothing at all dear
I walk away with my heart pierced
Even if I healed I do not know if you would be here

Where do I go with this pain in my chest?
All lore leads me to love's rest
I best tread carefully
Lest I lose a fine sense of bliss
What do I weep for as I ponder
Maybe that I never kissed her
and shared my secrets
Maybe that I never cared enough
Perhaps the other guy was tough
Perhaps I quickly exposed my edges rough

It left a stain, that rejection
Was it denial or mere hesitation
Should I hope that she was scared
Or should I believe that I was too dangerous
All the while being myself, frivolous
I should stop scolding her in my head
Nights have gone when I wanted her on my bed
Now it's over and too late for tears
To the future bright and her friend it's meet cute and cheers.
