Did I tell you?
Did I tell you that when you smiled I felt free?
Did I tell you that when you laughed I healed a little bit?
Did I tell you that you were the kindest thing life had ever given me?
I think I might have tried.
Did you understand?
When I texted you every time you left to make sure you were safe,
When I called you at 3am drunk just to say hello,
When I braved those crowds so you could see that band,
Did you comprehend what I was telling you?
Did you think I didn't care?
I loved the minutes we spent in silence
I loved just feeling you next to me
I loved having you near
But I think I forgot to say it.
I wanted to tell you every day
But when I held your hand I thought you got it
When I gazed at you I thought you were reading my thoughts
I thought you knew because I was sure it was obvious
But I never said the words, did I?
I never said all those things you needed
Like how you soothe my jagged edges
Like how you are in all my favourite thoughts
Like how my happiness is juxtapose to yours
Like how now you're gone I am less.
