Courage...

I never should have said a word, But impulse egged me on; I made sure you understood and heard, I can’t take them back now, they‘re gone; I tried to censor what I said, But it came out loud and clear; After I said them, all I felt was dread, As I hung there lingering in fear; What was I thinking, I may never know, That damn shot of courage did me in; I stand there waiting for the emotional blow, And the tension prickles my skin; And then, suddenly you smile, Hug me and say you do too; Turns out my courage was worthwhile, As I said words long overdue.
