in depth look at poem: This poem was written after the little bit of time (45 min-1 hour...which flew by) that I was able to spend with her. It tells how shy I am and how I just said hardly anything.


through the

through the few moments we spent
together walking and talking
I had thoughts swirling through my mind.
things I couldn't say,
things I was too shy to say.....
about how much more beautiful
you are in person
and how the time spent with you
seemed like seconds rather than minutes.
oh how I wish I wasn't so shy.
