This acrostic poem expresses the unrequited love and lack of courage of the author to confess their feelings to the person addressed in the poem. Each line of the poem begins with a letter that spells out "CONFESSIONS OF A COWARD" and touches on themes of caring for the person but finding it impossible to reach them, dreaming of love but being unable to give eternal love, and hoping their feelings won't pass without confessing but still lacking the courage to say how they feel.

Caring person like you is all I need
You are such a treasure indeed
Reaching for you is impossible it seems
Is dreaming all I could ever do?
Love me, can you? Like I do to you
Eternal love, I can’t give
Nor the stars beyond the sky
Do everything I can, so my love for you would live
Oh, I hope this feeling won’t pass by
No, I’ll still hold on to you even if you don’t know
I know this feelings needs to be known
Let my love be known to her you say?
As if I have the courage to say
