I Remained Silent.

By Cadey

You have been for a while now.
Avoiding me, you haven't noticed.
I've noticed, but,
I remained silent.

I felt unwanted
Alone, unloved.
I cried, but still,
I remained silent.

So at that sleepover
I was upset, no one noticed.
I crawled under the bed and,
I remained silent.

You noticed then,
You followed me under,
You held me and asked what was wrong, but,
I remained silent.

You kissed my cheek,
My forehead, my lips.
You asked and asked, but still,
I remained silent.

I couldn't tell you how
You'd been avoiding me
Not talking to me, so,
I remained silent.

You took my hand,
I looked up at you.
You said you wanted to help, but,
I remained silent.

You went for it then,
Kissed me, held me close.
I smiled but broke away.
I touched your cheek.
You touched my lips.
I kissed you once then sighed.

I told you then,
Let it all spill out,
How you hadn't spoken to me
Hadn't hugged me..

You looked at me,
Your expression so sad.
You whispered I'm sorry
You kissed me again.

Over and over you whispered
I'm sorry and I love you against my lips.
Your hand found my waist.
It rested there, I let it.

I felt better.
The weight off my chest.
Hoping it would get back to how we used to be.
I liked it then.

I crawled out from under the bed.
You followed me. Hugged me.
I slept next to you that night.
You held me close.

I must have cried out in my sleep
Because I woke up in your arms.
You kissed the side of my neck
And told me you were there for me.

I leant my head back
Onto your shoulder.
Your arms comforting around my waist.
Your cheek soft against mine.

I could've stayed like that forever.
I felt loved, wanted.
I fell asleep again.
Comfortable.

People say you don't deserve me.
That you're mean.
They say end it.
But I can't. Hell no I can't.

I see why they say it.
But, they only know one side of you.
With me, you're different.
You're sweet and oh so caring.

I don't care what they think of you.
all I know is, I love you.
