Wishing

Bursting with words
that my mouth can't quite form
feeling overwhelmed
my face growing warm

emotions spilling out
like I have a leak
every word I wanted to say
rolls down my cheek

you turn away
before you can see
my silent and teary
last-moment plea

just one thing
that I need to explain;
the concept is stuck
inside of my brain

you'll never hear it
and i'll never say-
I lost my courage
when you walked away

so everything's happy
and everything's good-
unspoken words
do what they should

I'll wish forever
that I had told you that day
the forbidden words
that I longed to say

but wishing is useless
hoping futile
all I'll do for the present
is sit back and smile
