I don't talk

When I don't know.

But I want to say what I do know.

But I don't say

What I want to

Because I don't know 

How to, at least.

I don't want to make it too

Awkward or too

Ambitious for you.

So I don't say

What I want to.

I don't want to make it too

Grand or too

Gruesome, in the end, for you.

So I don't say 

What I want to.

I care too much

So I don't say it.

When really,

It would be better,

Possibly,

If I did say it.

I may not seem shy,

Despite that I am,

Because when I know it

And how to say,

Which happens half of the time,

I can say it;

Oh boy, can I say it.

And I say it with a smile.

Maybe I should look it over,

Know it a little more.

Then maybe 

Just maybe 

You'll hear me 

Say it.
