Why didn’t I say it,
I don’t know why,
You asked me my name,
I failed to reply;
You gave me a look,
So awkward, so queer,
I said something quickly,
But hardly sincere;
I choked on my words,
You then walked away,
I waved a goodbye,
Still nothing to say;
Cursing myself,
I’ve nothing but shame,
All that you wanted,
Was simply my name;
And that’s how it goes,
My chance again foiled,
Just one lonely girl,
In love with a boy.
