Should've Asked You Out

Should've Asked You Out

A Poem by Sherwin

Long time ago I should've asked you out
Long before I messed up
Then I wouldn't have been in this mess

Should've have paid more attention to self
Should've
Just should've

Should've tried to grow in confidence earlier
Why did it have to happen so late?
Oh well

But then again,
I've known some people who at first wondered why they had to go through a certain thing
Then they later
Much later 
They later find out exactly why they had to go through it

And it pops up from time to time
It shows up
And then it makes sense
And then they feel grateful they went through it
And they realize it was worth it
And sometimes they don't
And others do
So Oh well

Oh well

Maybe I'll learn why
Maybe someone will teach me
Maybe someone won't 
Maybe I won't

And maybe there's a reason
There probably is 
Maybe
Just maybe

I guess

Sometimes I wonder would it have made a world of difference?
Would my life be very different if I asked you out?

I think it would if you had said yes
Not so much if you said no

But who really knows where I'd be now if I asked you out
Who knows what I'd be doing now if I asked you out
Who knows

Who really knows

Four years of liking you in high school
Four years
Just totally slipped by

Now its just a shadow
Just that
