I Should Tell You

So tell me this:
Why can’t I get you out of my head?
Baby, you mean more to me
Than you should.
A longing so deep in my soul
It got lost on its way out.
Oh how she longs to divulge
Every thought whispered,
Every word missed,
Every look misunderstood.
So many things from the past,
Things left unsaid
That should have been screamed out loud..
As the clock tick tocks
To the final moment,
A mystery finale
Neither could guess.
Countless secrets
Begin telling the alternate ending,
The kind the director explains.
Are things better left unsaid?
What are my choices?
I sit staring
At the darkening sky,
Everything on my mind.
What’s more,
You’ve figured out how to run
The never-ending marathon in my head.
One touch,
Like a burn across my arm
That remains forever etched.
Scars remain,
But you’re still here,
Unforgotten.
