It seems so long since last we spoke,
The day when my heart you broke.
Such cruel words poured from your lips,
From this wound, the pain still drips.
I've done my best to carry on,
Reminding myself that you are gone.
And when I think the healing is complete,
By some chance we happen to meet.
I look at you and smile, saying all is well,
While inside the tears fall but I will never tell.
I'll never tell that I tremble when you speak,
That a touch of your hand can still make me weak.
I'll never tell that I think of you and cry,
That the pain overwhelms me when I look you in the eye.
I'll never tell of how I lay awake at night,
Thinking of you, I clutch my pillow tight.
I'll never tell that each day without you is misery,
That I can hardly breath without you here with me.
No, these things I will never say to you,
I'll just smile and say "It's good to see you too."
After the goodbyes and company we part,
I'll start the process over, healing this broken heart.
