Opportunist
Chiao's NotebookI should've kissed you at the bus stop.
I should've kissed you in the rain.
Had I been more brave,
I could have avoided all this pain.
I should've pulled you by the belt buckle,
Or grabbed you by the shoulder.
I should've tugged at your shirt sleeve,
Or simply tried to be bolder.
Should I have called you at Christmas,
On your birthday or when you were sad?
I didn't understand
That it would have made you glad.
Sometimes I see your face
When I close my eyes.
I feel your presence,
But in fact, it's only lies.
How could I have not noticed
Your timid glances, your sheepish smile;
The downcast chin and upturned eyes,
When they were obvious all the while?
