“A message in the evening sky”…

If he told her the truth…
About how he felt…
Ripped open his heart…
Explained the hand he’d been dealt…
If he gave her the feelings…
That flowed through his veins…
And tried to show her…
The visions inside his brain…

If he just opened up…
Told her everything…
Unlocked all his boxes…
And offered to do anything…
Perhaps found the words…
That she needed to hear…
Maybe showed her a future…
Without any fear…

If he tried his best…
To understand what she wants…
And if he spoke honestly…
About how she haunts…
His days and his nights…
His real feelings for her…
That he has to hide…
Because realities twist and blur…

If he told her that…
His head spins so fast…
Whenever she is near…
And he wants that to last…
If he told her that…
He shakes sometimes…
As she holds his cold hand…
Even though it’s a crime…

If he told her that…
She is maybe warming his heart…
That he thinks of her…
Whilst they are so far apart…
And if he said he was sorry…
For being so weak…
For being a coward…
For being unable to speak…

In the midst of her beauty…
Simply in awe of her brains…
Because stood next to her…
He feels so very plain…
And if he took the time…
To tell her all this…
Then told her straight…
That he longs for her kiss…

Would she listen…
Find it in her heart…
To forgive all his faults…
Begin again from the start…
And understand that fate…
Is out of his tied hands…
And if things could be different…
He’d undo time and its sands…

Would she then be willing…
To give him a chance…
Remember the good times…
Perhaps have one last dance…
Because that poor boy…
Is no longer sure what to do…
But is sure of one thing…
He’ll never mean to hurt you…
