What I Meant To Tell You

a poem by thenorm

There are so many things

I could have said,

I should have done,

But I was me. And you

Were you. And we

Just didn't do things.

Not like That.

I meant to say I loved you,

But I thought it sounded weak.

I meant to say I cared,

But I was afraid to

Show My Soul.

I shut my mouth,

Closed My Book,

And we traveled on our ways.

And I meant to say I need you.

But I was me. And you

Were You.

And we didn't do things.

Not like that.

Well, I do care, and I do love.

Even though we don't do things.

Not like that.
