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

And 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 both friends and relations
Influence the path to take
Listening to them, instead of our hearts
Was one of our biggest mistakes,

Different interests too, came between us
We forgot to make time for each other
So, 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 the words we didn't say.

Another tender piece Janette, for two to part > there has to be a reason they did. And parting appears to be better than staying together. Your poetry oozes heart >> James
