Maybe Someday

The words are on the tip of my tongue

I thought about this moment often

I played it out in my head

Things went better than i expected

I practiced this with myself in the mirror

Until I had it all down, word by word

And I waited for the right moment

The perfect  opportunity

Now my stomach turns

My hands sweat

My heart leaps

My mind races

I can't think straight

I babble incoherently

You look at me

I stare back silently

What happened to that burst of courage?

The one that made me come over to you

I should speak up

Where's my voice?

Here's my chance

There it goes

I lost it

You turn around

I walk away

...Maybe someday

Before it's too late...

Or is it already?
