ONLY IF....

There was always something we did not say,

The silence of sound, the darkness of day.

The stars of heaven knew, so did the pearls of the sea,

But not us, neither you nor me.

Our hearts said it, our eyes showed it,

But words betrayed us, not giving a hint.

Neither a tear nor a smile,

Could say what the words didn’t.

Now, for the silence we both repent,

If only we had said it, life would’ve been different.

The threads of time have become so tender,

I can’t leave him now, nor can you her!
