When You Wanted To Say, I Love You

Remember the days when you wanted to say 
  "I love you; I love everything about you"
     But you just couldn't get the words out

You were in high school, a junior or senior 
  "I love how you walk; I love how you talk"
     But the words always cleaved to your palate

You felt that she liked you; she smiled at you sweetly
  "I love how you look, how you carry your books"
     But the fear that you faced was palpable

She waited for months, but you didn't come through
  "I love your soft hair, your fashionable flair"
     So she walked down the hall with another

He was no match for you, but what could you do
  "I wanted to let you know badly, but I blew it"
     She drifted away, forever left you
