Things I'd Like to Say to Him

Hey

I know it's been a while

Since we've last both spoken.

I'm doing fine

 

Except

I miss you sometimes

When I least expect it

I'm not really sure why

It's not like we were anything special

Maybe it's the look in your eye

In that one moment of vulnerability

When you tore off all the layers

Of protection

That you pull so tightly

Around you

Perfectly hiding you

Making you invincible from the world

 

 

Did that scare you?

That I saw that side?

Is that why you didn't call

Didn't leave even a note or an inkling

That you had the slightest interest

Or was your interest only for those few

Moments together

 

 

Like magic

Engulfing me completely

Intoxicating my senses

Filling me to the brim

With you and the possibility of more

 

 

More that will never come

Because you won't let it

 

I want you to know that I go

From spurts of anger to pain

When I think of you

And what we could have had

Sometimes I still hold hope

Before remembering

Stupid girl, it'll never work

 

 

You make me the highest of highs and the lowest of lows

And you don't even know it

Funny

Because I don't want you to

You don't deserve that

And at this rate you never will

 

 

Well this is getting long winded

And it's something you'll never see

Because really why would you?

You never even think of me!

So I guess it's time

To finish what I have to say

There's really nothing else

Other than

Goodbye
