Unfinished Business

Unfinished business, it's causing me distress,
A connection so strong, yet full of stress.
Speaking through glances, so hard, I’m dead,
Harder because I can’t get through to your head.
If only I had been a little braver,
I could have made "something" into a matter.
Even if your heart belonged to another,
It’s your love that I am after.
But now it's too late, there is no rewind,
A dream left a dream, difficult to find.
It feels like an ending, a love never begun,
Just "what ifs" and regrets under the setting sun.
You'll never know the pain I feel inside,
As I lost somebody, my love needs to hide.
Although I know that you already know,
We’re both playing blind,
Yet I’m the only one in sorrow.
