What To Say

What to say when your afraid

your right. 

I always said it was better to know bad news then not know.

but maybe this is different. 

I’m afraid to hope,

but if I can’t believe what did all our words mean?

Where did he go?

Or was I the one who left. 

Only we aren’t leaving, 

we only leave. 

and get lost in the time apart.

How come it’s me now, 

in love when you might be out.

I built my life around you

in the way I said I would not. 

I fell for you in the way

I could not. 

Do I stay quiet until I can speak in words that you’ll hear?

Go through the days until then not knowing and 

crying when you hang up the phone before I can find the courage. 

Do I speak now, and perhaps end this wondering,

but, maybe forget why I’m here. 

It seems that 

as you fade out,

I come in to focus and realize

you’re all I’ve ever 

wanted.

Only, now

it’s too late and only 

your lingering smell and 

the moments I won’t ever forget,

swirl around me in this empty 

room.
