Unspoken Words
All in a golden afternoon,
under the skies of cloudless blue
I stare up and think of you
Do you have a need for anything?
Because I need you
I think of your voice so often, saying phrases you’ll never say
I think of you sometimes all day,
Even until I’m left sitting under the moon
Thinking of things I want to say to you
Writing this down, is far better than words stuttered
The hope that I will once again hear you speak soon
Thinking of things I want to say to you that have will never leave my lips, that will never be uttered
