If I was more courageous
I'd call you and say
I love you
If I was stronger
I'd lift you off your feet
And steal your heart
If I was more loveable
I'd hug you
And never let go

But I'm none of these things
I'm too stuck in the past
To look forward
I'm too afraid of defeat
To try for victory
I'm too afraid you'll leave
To bring you closer

My best effort
Is writing a love poem
You'll never read
