To Late To Say I Love You

There is always a question to ask

and a memory to dwell upon

always another curiosity

wondering what if this and what if that

never knowing what could happen

if we let our hearts decide

that for just a simple moment

we could let our love unwind



That if we finally set free emotions

we had come to push aside

would we come together for a lifetime

or would the knowledge make us cry

and weaken the walls we built

making them crumble to the ground

running from the tenderness

fighting it with all our might



We had loved so passionately

yet loved not at all

cared with a deeper sense of caring

and shared all that we could share

each tear was felt a thousand times full

and each sorrow we took to burden

and we talked and explained

and hid behind our walls



Prtending we didn't care

and smiling through the hurt

covering the true emotion

and watching it grow only more

but saying nothing, professing nothing

and playing on unsaid things

unbeknownst to me, unbeknownst to you

to never see 'till its to late



And as I finally learned to love

with another, who loved me as I him

so came the confession of the heart

to bewilder me, to taunt me, to break me

as i had loved you  years before

and had been loved naugt in return

so you had told me, so you'd professed

only to find it was naught all true



If only you'd have told me so

many long years ago

I would have given, to you, the world

and the stars in the distant sky

but late are you, you can't imgainge

how silent i've been through these times

when seeing you love the women you loved

watching them only break your heart



I still love you my dearest friend

but no longer as I did

the times have healed this shattered heart

i've accepted that there is no "us"

but still i'm always there to listen

whenever you are down

i'm sorry to have hurt you

in finding someone that I love



But still I can't help but wonder

what now would just be like

if only you'd have said the words

to which my heart so yearned to hear

the words I waited for, and hoped for

that could have changed my life around

I will wonder for all eternity what if only

you'd have told me long before...



But its to late to say "I Love You"

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This was a poem a wrote a while back, an actual occurance to me.  It was quite a sad moment of my life, you know when the one person you had loved at one point, but no longer confesses that they had feelings for you all along?... it was a shock.
