The Words I Didn’t Say

How do I let you know it’s over?
That I just can’t go on this way?
My heart is hurting from the thoughts
That form the words I couldn’t say

My feelings for you haven’t changed
I love you as much as yesterday
I’m so afraid of hurting you
It shows in the words I wouldn’t say

It kills me to know you’re crying
I don’t want to watch you walk away
But there’s nothing more to talk about
I said it all with the words I didn’t say

Beautifully expressed Tara. It's so difficult to move on, when our hearts still hold a tender place ... sometimes words unsaid are the only way. Very nicely written!  

Best wishes,

Sometimes, it's hard to know what to say. . . either way, it's going to hurt. . .

It's just hard to let go sometimes. . .

Excellent my friend. . .

It is so hard to leave someone you love dearly, especially if you know it will hurt them too.  Great writing.

Oh, Tara....
            This is elegant......it paints a goodbye setting, and shows the pain of parting. You think there's more to say, but no one does. Yes......very nicely put.


Follow your dream!

Tara,
Stunningly beautiful writing! Much depth and heart went into this...that is apparent. Lovely!
Take care.

Thank you all for your comments.  Sometimes it's difficult to let go sometimes we learn of things that make it easier to do.  It still hurts either way you go.

Take me as I am or watch me as I go
