I don't have the guts to tell you in person,

because I don't want you to laugh.

I don't have the guts to admit I screwed up,

because it's rarely announced.

I don't have the guts to tell you I miss you,

because I don't know if you miss me.

I don't even have the guts to say more then one syllable,

I can't breathe past that.

I don't have the guts to look you in the eye,

because I know you won't look back.

I don't have the guts to see you,

unless it's by coincidence.

I don't have the guts to speak to you,

just the sight of you pulls on my heart strings.

I can't say I have the guts,

but I can wave.

I can't say I have the guts,

but I can smile.

I can't say I have the guts,

but I have called.

I can't say I have the guts,

but I can say hi.

I can't say I have the guts,

but.....I....Lo...

Now I know I don't have the guts.
