When I Had The Chance

My head screamed, "why are you here with me!?"
But, I never said a single word
I never asked, I never questioned
Because I was afraid of the answer
But, it wasn't that I was afraid of what you'd say
I was afraid of what you wouldn't say
Of the spaces in between the question asked
And the answer given
I feared that the answer spoken would contradict
The simple truth, shown by the way you would respond
If you would reply quickly, or slowly
If you would stare at the ground or look me in the eyes
I was so afraid...
So, I did not ask, I let my mind rage and scream
But, I did not ask you
And now it seems that my head still screams
And the questions rage and shreik demands to be answered
Yet, I would only be asking memories, now
And the questions would be different
I suppose that I should have asked you then
When I had the chance
