Words Never Spoken

WORDS NEVER SPOKEN

July 15, 2000, I was very sad and didn’t want to see anyone
As I was driving down the highway wondering where to go and what to do
I picked up the phone not knowing who to call

When I suddenly started dialing your number
Ring … Ring … Ring …
Hello, you said and for a moment I could not say a word
– just hearing your voice made me smile –

I asked you to meet me somewhere we had never been
and to my surprise you were on your way
Finally you were next to me –

Thinking of how much I missed you,
I wanted to kiss you and hug and never let you go
But you see I could not and would not
for I was so sad that I would see you go once again

I enjoyed every minute we had together,
from just looking out into the water to talking about nothing in particular
The hours went by so fast . . .
it was gloomy and we didn’t see the sunset but we saw the moon rise

It was so round and so bright when it came up
It was the perfect view from where we were sitting
I thought of how we were growing to be just as perfect as the moon that night
And how others could see us grow and be such a great couple

Then the clouds covered the moon
And it came and went
It was fighting with the clouds
But the battle never stopped, it was clear the clouds were winning

I believe you were the moon and I was the clouds at that moment
Because I want you only for me and no one else
I want to be able to hug you, kiss you and never let you go

But as the night went on we parted
And the moon disappeared to start another day
The clouds still were there but the moon was gone

Once again I was alone without the moon to brighten up my night
And I still missed you so much
These are the words I never spoke
But my silence that night meant so much for both you and I
