Love Line

I wish I had some clever lines
And knew just what to say.
I wish that I were handsome, and
The heroes role could play.

I also wish that charm and grace
Came easily to me.
And for my style and bearing, you
Impressed with me would be.

Yet nonetheless I‘m standing here,
Adoring only you;
And hope that by some quirk of fate
You're thinking of me too.

So if you have some idle time
With nothing really planned,
I wonder if you'd like to take
A walk along the sand.

And we could talk of life and love
And politics awhile,
Then if you like the company
You'll look my way and smile.

I thought I'd write this little note
With honesty unfeigned.
I only have my pride to lose -
And nothing ventured, nothing gained.
