The girl with whom I never talked

The girl with smiling face,
the girl with silken hair,
If that day I hadn't been shy,
tales of her beauty I could share.

Lovely words she would speak,
To talk her, opportunities I would seek,
But a sudden silence would prevail,
to talk again I would fail.

I mulled, I thought, I pondered again,
Why this curse, why this bane?
Why couldn't I express what I thought?
A few moments with her I sought.

I could never gather my courage
to tell her once of my desire.
To talk her once about my dreams,
of what I wish and I aspire.

Of speaking those words I'd think,
of writing a song I would dream.
for one day I would be successful,
to me it would always seem.

In my memories, she'll forever exist,
for I cannot forget her grace,
even if we couldn't ever talk,
even if she was just a passing phase.
