Almost Goodbye

As I look at you I lower my head,
to many times it has come to this.
Usually some explosive and hurtfull words
when it should have been just a kiss.

At times there is no turning back,
these hurtfull words linger like a dense rain cloud,
Those days I close up inside full of shame,
thinking of when I used to be proud.

Do you remember when we laughed at anything,
and held each other like it was the last day,
Now we stare at each other in a silent anger,
Waiting for what the other might say.

If I had a time machine I would set a date,
And go back to see your smile,
Because over time it has been misplaced,
And I hanvnt seen it in quite awhile.

We havnt heard each other in some time,
Maybe we should stop and see what we hear,
I think I hear a faint echo of love,
Thath seems to get louder when your near.

You couldn't say it and neither could I,
Let this almost goodbye be gone,
I smile every day, and share it with you
I knew this was us all along.
