My dearest Sharon
In your deepest thoughts
Perhaps you remember me
The boy with love you taught
That was me hiding
In the shadows of your youth
Until I learned you’d be leaving
And I confessed to you my truth
Please forgive me love
For being so shy
Didn’t know how to say
I love you, but I had to try
I took a chance
Out on that limb
But I had to tell you
Or live my life regretting
Out from the silhouette
Into the light
My identity revealed
For you to see me right
I hope you knowing
The love for you I speak of
Not of guilt, but of pride
My silhouette of love
