I never wrote you a poem
Because words weren't enough-
To describe what I'd felt;
To show you all my love;
I never wrote you a poem
Because I didn't know what to say;
I'd never been in love before;
You'd brightened up my days;
I never wrote you a poem
Because I didn't want to seem fake-
By dressing up feelings in metaphors;
I wanted to seem opaque;
I never wrote you a poem
Much to your dismay;
If I could write one for the others,
Why not you, you would say;
I never wrote you a poem
Not because I didn't care;
But because I loved you so much,
That to undermine it I didn't dare;
Now I'm writing you a poem
To show you how I feel;
And I know it's much too late,
But my love for you is real.

If only I'd had the chance to prove it to you then.
