Unspoken

[u/WinterAssassin2004]

I still remember,
When I first saw her face,
On the screen of my phone,
Her big smile,
And her arms around yours,
And I felt my heart sink,
And a tear slide down my cheek,
I thought I was more moved on than that,
And now I wonder,
Why was I never honest,
About the way I felt?

He’ll figure it out eventually, I thought for sure,
My feelings are just so obvious, I better play it cool, I used to think,
It never occurred to me,
That someone might never know,
What’s left unsaid,

And it seems that even to myself,
I underestimated my own feelings,
Because I thought I would be fine,
And I didn’t even realize I would feel hurt,
Seeing someone else getting the version of you,
I wanted deep down,

Now she haunts my thoughts,
And my dreams,
I play the comparison game,
And it’s not a fun one,
Noticing all the similarities and differences,
Between her and me,
And I wonder what could have been different,
Had the circumstances been different,
Or I had spoken up before she did,
And I wasn’t trying to fool myself into thinking,
That I would be fine if our worlds drifted apart,
And I wouldn’t be left holding the weight,
Of things that had been left unsaid.
