Unspoken Words

Unspoken Words
I would sit there daydreaming and thinking of you
I was to shy and that is all I could do
I longed to tell you the words that dwelled in my heart
You were already taken and it tore me apart
You were in love with my very good friend
I knew I didn’t have a chance in the end
My self esteem was so low I couldn’t compete
Yet my life felt empty and incomplete
I put the feelings behind me and never a word I spoke
I tried to fool myself what a joke
I thought of you often as time went on
Before I knew it 20 years had gone
Little things I would see and hear would remind me of you
Now you were long gone what could I do
I would ask about you to your family and friends
Never expecting what would happen in the end
The chance of meeting seem so far away
Until that one very special day
I heard a voice that said long time no see
Little did I know he was talking to me
I thought the voice may have sounded like someone I knew
Then I turned and to my surprise there it was you
I ran over to you with a warm embrace
Realizing the feelings time didn’t erase
A short conversation and back out the door
Left me with so many answers I wanted more
The feelings I felt all began to rush
When I looked into the eyes of my high school crush
Yet I couldn’t tell him what was in my heart
Where in the world would I start
A meeting by chance a few months ago
Left me with feelings and no where to go
A phone call made just the other night
Allowed me the chance to get this right
We talked for hours about days gone by
And who we are now and the reasons why
I was more surprised that you had felt the same way
I didn’t know what more I could say
My life was a puzzle but never complete
Until that night that we decided to meet
The once unspoken words that lingered in my heart
Now have led me to find that missing part
For so long it was missing I didn’t know what to do
Until I found the missing piece and now I know it was YOU!
