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.
