For Everything I Never Said
Every time I never said "I'll love you everyday"
Every time my heart sank because I couldn't find the words to tell you what I meant to say
Every time I pushed away
Every time I knew it was painful and never said "It's going to be okay"
I knew what you went through and still remined silent and quiet
Slowly, I died inside.
Every time I never told you that your kisses leave me drugged
Every time I almost said "Don't let me go home. What if I get mugged?"
Every time I never said how beautiful you were, that your smile lit up a room.
Every time I refused to admit you made me swoon.
Oh, I stay silent and quiet because of those private things.
Cutie, you should be home.
Every time I never say "He would have liked this"
Every time I slay a dragon for its hubris
Every time I sway to the rhythm of the moon.
Every time I sit in my bed and croon.
Baby, all these things I miss about you.
I need your silliness here.
Love, let me tell you I'm sorry for everything I never said-especially "I love you."
