Slip Away

Not my best, but mine nonetheless.

I had so much to say that day,
but I let it all just slowly slip away.
If only I'd manage to get up the nerve,
to tell you all the things I meant to say.

When you turned to walk away for good,
I couldn't even tell you not to leave me.
I just let my eyes fill with unshed tears,
and threw my hands in the air screaming.

I chose your feelings over my own,
with hopes you find something better.
Each day I sit by the window searching,
for the one that so clearly got away.

There was so much I meant to say,
when you walked away the snowy day.
I slowly let all the words just slip away,
in the same way I watched you drift away.
