The New Girl a Work

The new Girl at Work (The Coward Speaks)

Should I feel a shamed? 
I want to kiss the new girl at work 
but I don't know her name.
Her understated beauty 
is the first page of a book
I can't put down.
Man... just learning her name 
will be my favorite sound.
She's the one I want, and need.
The treasure of her femininity
is the center of my greed.
But I am unknown to her.
I have yet to say hello.
At work I’m always
a good-natured fellow.
So, why am I afraid of
telling her who I am?
On the outside,
I feel like a youngster 
trying to be a man.
On the inside,
I 'm like Tarzan of the jungle
beating on my chest.
And she's an attractive female
I need to impress.
I've been alone to long,
my soul calling for a mate.
But the coward in me
won't ask her out on a date.
So, I feel a shame
I 'm to cowardly to even 
ask for her name.
