Every Part Of Me

Every part of me finds a thought of
You.
I'm not ready yo say I'm sorry, let
Alone hello.
But the longer I wait the farther you'll
Be from me.
How the words escape me, how they
Seem to be so silent inside of me.
Can you understand why I'm staying
Away?
Can you forgive me for being so
Lost from everything that was
Between us.
If I tried to come back would you
Let me?
What would I do, what could I say?
But nothing. . .
