If I told you sweet words

Oh simply to impress,

If I showed you the birds

And all that is priceless,

If I loved you so much,

So much that it would hurt,

If I yearned for your touch

In never-ending flirt,

If I took you away

To places of wonder,

If I only dared say

I’ve long felt the thunder!

If I were brave and true,

As soon as light of day

Would bathe us in its ray,

If I were brave and true,

This is what I would do…

But I am not, I know,

All of this was for show,

And none can I undo.
