Hesitation

'Nudda poem

Night,
Warm,
The scent of lilac heavy in the air.
Fireflies twinkle like embers.

My heart sags heavily,
My thoughts wander to what could be.
Sadly, I toil in my imagination,
Not ready to confront what torments me.

Such anxiety I feel,
When it comes to this,
I’m hesitant,
And it’s hard to handle it.

Some things are better left unsaid,
But these I feel should not be.
I try so hard,
Yet the courage evades me.

Maybe someday,
Maybe I can say what I feel.
‘Till then,
I torture myself,
Every night I lie awake,
And wonder,
Wonder what would happen,
If only I could find the words.

It’s not so easy,
For me to say this,
If only I wasn’t a coward,
If only I had more confidence.

It's a good poem Shaun. I was rushed for time on my last reply, but it sums up how I feel nicely.

I wish I could help you. I wish I could do more than what I'm doing... but I can't.

This is a path you're going to have to find by yourself. No amount of careful guidance can help this time.

You'll find it soon. Just be patient.

I know it's hard Shaun. But you have to keep going. When the time is right, it will come.

From the sound of it shaun all you need is a little encouragement and self estem.
Course if your not talking about what I think your talking about then ignore this post if you are then read on.
All I can tell you is talk to the person or write them and tell them how you feel about them.
the worst they can do is tell you they don't feel the same way.
the thing then is to see were they are coming from as in do they have trouble trusting the opposite sex cause of bad expirances or maybe there is another reason. just be understanding If you really like this person then you'll understand the person's answer.
