Message Unsent

I think of you everyday

But I don’t know what to say

You should know by now

How I feel

Even after all this time

Always a part of me

Hidden away where the world can’t see

Time passes but memories of you stay

Plans and promises held from yesterday

Wouldn’t it be nice…?

…

But that’s so much to say

So I just smile

As you turn away


Author’s Note: This was inspired mainly by my own feelings and a couple lines borrow from a certain moment in the Harry Potter series, that is when Snape proves his loyalty to Dumbledore. Imagination can build up some impressive plans of things to share with another, but unfortunately those plans don’t always become reality. Then all the things one may feel become buried under the surface, a taboo to speak of with the person for whom those feelings are directed. But you search for a way to keep them in your life, even if it means suppressing your hopes to fulfill the plans you made together.
