It's Too Hard

Its too hard to write a love poem
When you know that they’ll read it
Its too embarrassing to know
That they will know how you feel
Its to difficult to come up with the right words
To use that will impress them
And it’s the hardest if they read it
And don’t know its for them

I tend to lack courage in the telling people how I feel category... Maybe someday I'll get it. ^_^

At least we can sympathize.

A certain family member of mine got into my account this weekend and did some weird stuff.

Thats always the way it

Thats always the way it goes. Too bad people can't just walk up and ask without being nervous. That would be cool. Well...
