Unsaid

A few smiles kept reserved,
Those many unsaid words,
A lifetime worth of memories in making,
will stay as thoughts unheard.

We didn't mean everything we said,
Didn't speak everything we meant to say,
We could have weathered it out together,
had one of us could asked the other to stay.

But guess it's how it's meant to be,
Probably just what fate had in store,
Everyday I hold onto this belief,
But somewhere deep down I ain't that sure.

Coz' times change and memories fade,
But your conscience can't stay naive,
The more you steer towards ignorance,
Closer to guilt it seems to drive.

The perpetrator could be you or me,
But as victims we both did suffer,
and when our miseries are so linked,
Blaming each other is so much tougher.

It's useless wishing to rewind time,
You carry forward what you are taught,
Those unsaid words and unsmiled smiles,
to make new memories will be sought.
