Speak For Yourself

Speak for Yourself- I thought it was time to speak and explain myself It would have been easier if we had met in person, but we both found an alibi to excuse ourselves I suppose you assumed that I had nothing to say. I had no words to use, anyway. Had we spoke, you might have answered for us both and it would have been closer to the truth than I would have liked. At that point, I might have found an alibi to excuse these past two years that I had spent alone. Silence would have held us in confinement, until we came to old age. We were eager when we had time to waste on one another but that didn’t last long. Had I said nothing, I might have imagined a person to whom I could offer a cigarette. Time hasn’t exactly been kind to you and to tell you the truth, I can’t really speak for myself.
