Unspoken Words
I think about you everyday
There isn’t a day I don’t
I think your smile
The way you used to look at me
I think about how you would spaz out
Just so you could hear me do a dumb little laugh
But I only did it because you loved it
I remember how you would always make sure I was okay
And when you knew I wasn’t you made me tell you I wasn’t
But you never made me tell you why
Because you knew first hand that it’s not easy to express those things
You knew I can’t express those things
But you were still there if I ever needed you
Even if you didn’t know why I did
I remember the day we met
We didn’t talk
We were strangers in a sea of people
Much like we are now
But we were put together for some assignment
I made you do something totally outrageous
But once that thing came out of my mouth
We couldn’t stop laughing
We laughed for what felt like hours
Even though it was only for a few minutes
That’s when I first started to think about you
Who would’ve known I would never stop
But I remember other things too
When I leaned on you
When we sat together everyday
When you said you never would never forget about me
You promised you wouldn’t leave
But here we are now
And I wish I could tell you
Tell you how I feel right now
How I feel like my world is missing something
How I don’t feel complete
No one can feel complete after going through that
After losing someone close
After losing someone who is still alive
But I could never tell you
Because my mouth won’t open
Or my brain tells me not too
But it’s for the best
It’s best to keep those words unspoken
It would only make you more of a stranger
