Little Talks
I wish I could talk to you
Things didnt go how I had planned.
I didn't even have a plan.
I went into it off balanced,
Doomed from the start.
"What did you have to talk to me about?"
A long silence.
I knew what was coming.
"I really like you."
I smiled and stared out the window,
Somehow satisfied that I had known,
Known it from the start.
My mind ran a blank,
I'm sure he was scared out of his mind.
I smiled and glanced at him.
"I didn't know how you would take it,
I didn't want to make things awkward."
I had been in that same position
Not even two weeks before
I had wanted to ask
But resolved to wait it out
Let things move on their own
I knew it would come to this.
Then I did what I swore I would never do.
I cut him down.
Let him out to dry.
I never should have said what I said,
If I could take it back I would.
I would without a second thought.
But what was said was said.
And what is done cannot be undone.
I wish I could talk to you.
Face to face.
I haven't been myself lately,
I don't know what's going on.
Am I going insane?
These reflections
These reflections that once brought me peace.
Now bring me sadness.
I pray that you are ok,
I never wanted to hurt you.
I'm so tired of being lonely.
