Scared as a timid mouse At last I mustered up my courage Without a second thought, Buried my ego I went on, to talk to him On my way, bought an apology letter Heart thumping, As rain thatching onto a roof Clenched my fists, walked over Appeared before him, surprisingly Presented the letter, a wrapped gift Buried my ego Accepted my follies Hugged, with a side kiss He was more important.
