Words Left Unsaid…
As I sit here and think of what we’ve been
through…
Of the things I’d change – if - I could start
anew…
Surely – no doubt – at the top of the list…
Would be to tell you of the things we both
missed…
The forgotten “I love you’s” – of days rushing
by…
The hidden tears – all those times we secretly
cry…
The longing for your touch – when you’re far
away…
The sadness of opportunities missed – yet
another day…
Those special looks we used to share every day…
The ones that - now – too often – seem - too
far away…
It’s those special moments that I so desperately
miss…
Your loving eyes, your gentle touch and
passionate kiss…
There’s always tomorrow – I’ve often - to myself
– said…
But – the right time never comes – and words
are… left unsaid…
Secret thoughts - dreams - and regrets – that
were never spoken…
Are now a deep part of a heart that feels –
inexplicably - broken…
Fear, anger, despair, loneliness, hurt - almost
unbearable to bear…
Amidst the joy, happiness, and precious moments
we came to share…
When life threw me a curve and unexpectedly
ripped my heart apart…
Through an ocean of tears, you made me laugh and
healed my heart…
Slowly – and quickly – time quietly slips away…
And so, I could no longer spend - even just one
more day…
Without telling you about the thoughts in my
head…
For so long now - thoughts, feelings and words -
left unsaid…
The “I need you…” – in spite of pretending it
was not so…
The missed “Come hug me…” – when pride - I
couldn’t swallow…
The “I’m sorry…” – for the countless times that
I’ve hurt you…
The “Hold my hand - like you used to do - when
we were just two”…
The comfort you always gave me – even when I was
so cold…
The love that you continue to give – as together
– we grow old…
How can I possibly thank you - for all that
you’ve given…
It seems even words - left unspoken - can’t even
begin…
No one else could make me laugh quite like you –
it is true…
There’s no one else who could – ever - share
what we do…
That closeness we’ve taken for granted for far
too long…
The oneness we’ve felt that – always - kept us
so strong…
Yes - at times - I’ve felt daily life tearing us
so far apart…
Yet – no one else - could
hold - your place – in my heart…
And so – this time – when tonight – I go to bed…
I’ll no longer fear dying - having – words left
unsaid.
