(unspoken)

I wish I could talk to you right now We were never good at expressing emotion but I wish it were different There are so many things left unspoken. (Like how the sun doesn’t set) one day without me thinking of you thinking of holding you my hand in yours....remember? You marveled at how small mine were though I never thought myself graceful but you saw me that way. I remember I smiled. (It’s hard to forget) that night our first date movies, cliché I couldn’t concentrate anyway I was too busy listening to your breathing and oh the sparks that shot from your fingers to mine. You kissed me. I thought my brain was on fire. (I try not to regret) meeting your eyes across the room I thought we could make it but we were doomed met at a party drunk on Christmas cheer in love at first sight But I did love you, dear I still do and the only thing that made sense in these two years is me wrapped up in your arms listening to you breathe. I wish I had told you (these words that never left my lips.) So now that I lie here, alone the bed cold I think these words as loud as I can and even though they are (Unspoken.) I only hope that you sense them between breaths.
