capulet,
Literary (Submission): Just One More Thing
A mute man could say more in one day
Than I ever could to make you stay.
Now I am left
With a bleak emptiness,
Watching you amble away.
There's no point in trying to reach
A person who's ready to leave.
So I have to let go
Even when I know
That you're leaving with some part of me.
I'm sorry that I wasn't enough
To convince you to fight for our love.
I know you tried
But you've made up your mind.
It would be cruel to not give you up.
This goodbye does not have to hurt
Because we've nothing to lose nor earn.
Our time wasn't right,
Out of sparks to ignite,
And a love too vague to discern.
I don't blame you for choosing to leave
Because I can't force what should not be.
I'm grateful that you
Did everything you could do
To at least try to be happy, for me.
I wish in the end I could have said
Just one more thing before you left—
The one thing that proves
That my feelings were true
The one thing that now, I can't tell you—
I love you.
