Better Left Unsaid

All the time it took for me to trust you,
And all the time it took for me to say "I love you too",
Is all better left unsaid.

All of the laughs,
All of the tears,
All of our fights,
All of our fears,
Are all better left unsaid.

All of the "I'll never hurt you"s,
All of the "forever"s,
All of our hopes,
All of our ventures,
Are all better left unsaid.

All of our dreams,
All of our nightmares,
All of our hugs,
All of our cares, 
Are all better left unsaid.

All of the promises,
And such little time it took to tear them down to the floor,
Is all better left unsaid.
