Forever Unspoken

11/30/07
"I have something to tell you when I see you."
Is all I managed a thousand miles from home.
A home of my heart,
Encased by love.

I couldn't wait to see you,
To tell you the secret we both know.
As indescribable as time,
Fenced by only the speed of this traveling train.
I knew it before you called me:
“I’m going to meet you half way home.”
And unknowingly to both of us,
They were the last words I heard from your mouth.

Never have I felt so guilty, culpable,
For betraying my own heart with time.
When I just wished that if only I had that chance to tell you,
That simple something from a thousand miles away.

I would have only needed to say that
“I love you.”
