she’s sweet

It's my fault,
I guess.
I just waited too long.

they say
it is the curse of all nice guys.

But
I'm not nice.

I'm not shy-
but maybe cursed.

all i have is your kindness,
your smile.

that smile heals
me.
your mouth-
beautiful, and kind
heals-
and i can only say, thank you-

thank you...

and

with this i let you go-
leaving
a bitter taste in my mouth-

the bitter taste
of defeat-

the bitter taste of
missed
opportunity-
of regret
of phantom kisses
of ever hearing my name on your lips-

I just waited too long.

Someone
told me you were a sweet girl.

I'll have
to take their word for it.
