Maybe I should have told you sooner <br />That I thought you were wonderful? <br />Maybe I should have pushed you a bit more <br />Or forced my affections on you? <br />Maybe I should have put all my cards on the table <br />At the very beginning? <br />Maybe I should have made the supreme effort <br />To enhance this obvious connection? <br />Maybe I should not have held back my feelings <br />For fear of having them rejected by you? <br />Maybe I should not have ruffled your feathers <br />Quite so many times - unintentionally? <br />Maybe I should not have craved your attention <br />Every minute of every day? <br />Maybe we should have cut to the chase - point blank..... <br /> <br />Instead...........we are just passing ships in the night.<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/passing-ships-2/
