afterthought
--
a poem
instead of saying
i love you,
i should have said
that the sun does not
rise only for your eyes.
that my heart does
not beat to the rhythm
of your voice.
instead of saying
i need you,
i should have said
that lonely is sweeter
than your kisses.
that i fill the empty
bits of my home with
my own laughter
instead of saying
i miss you,
i should have said
that forgiveness is
no lover of mine.
that i did not
keep our memories
safely locked away.
