Unspoken Words

I didn’t get to tell him,
He didn’t get to know
Just how much he meant to me
How much I loved him so
He didn’t need to tell me too
I knew he felt the same
But yet, we slowly drifted apart
And both must take the blame,
We let our friends and relations
Influence the path to take
Listening to them, instead of our hearts
Was one of our greatest mistakes
Different interests too, came between us
We forgot to make time for each other
Instead of being two people in love
We were more like sister and brother
There was no formal ending
We simply walked away
To a lifetime of heartbreak, and regret
For words we didn’t say.
