i always left things unsaid

you and i were different that way

you told me everything that was on your beautiful mind

you would randomly blurt things out and we would laugh

the day you accidentally told me you loved me

it was three in the morning

(all of our best conversations were)

we were laying in bed, talking

our bodies were one

our breathe in sync

“i love you.” you told me

suddenly i wasn’t sleepy anymore

my heart and my mind raced

i was trying to think of the perfect thing to say

my brain was calculating the outcome of each possible response

i was too late

you had fallen asleep

the next morning i woke up with you gone

i can’t help but wonder if it was the unsaid that drove you away

i wonder if you would’ve stayed if i said “i love you too.”
