One-Word

I saw you again today Walking alone in the hallway We did not even share a glance There was no falter in your stance You walked right by I could say I did not care but that would be a lie Because the truth is it hurt My mind raced for a word my mouth could blurt One word that would make you falter One word to make you stop and look my way Just like you used to do day after day One word to bring us back to before One word to mend the hole those words tore What was once a warm smile Had turned into a cold and distant frown The way you looked at me Pulled me up from the ground Now the way you pass me by It makes me want to drown To crawl in a hole and never come out To get away from it all From you and the mistakes I made All those thoughts yet one persisted The wish that you had stayed I began to think One word to make you blink One word that would make you smile That look I had not seen for a while One word that would bring you back One word to make you regret what you did But you do not regret what you did For you did not falter You did not stop and look my way You did not blink You did not smile Because you did not care So I did not dare I did not dare to mutter one word Because it would be filled with hate Because it would truly seal my fate You threw it away All we had And I really hope you are glad That you lost what we had That none of those smiles meant a thing to you That you gave it all up So what was I to do Should I have said One word to make you think One word to make my regret sink The word to make it all ok One word to make it all go away One word
