Things I Wish I Would Have Said (Instead I Said...)

By lordshadow

Go away
Disappear
Don't look in my direction
Don't smile at me
Don't cry because of me
Don't call me
Don't speak to me
Don't think of me
Don't dream of me
Don't long for me
Don't lose sleep over me
Don't tell me jokes
Don't tell me about your day
Don't tell me your aspirations
Don't make your little secrets, our little secrets
Don't make your little problems, our little problems...

...and please don't remember me...

...and please don't allow your tears to run the letters on the note you wrote to me, sharing with me all of your dreams, aspirations, and jokes because after all, I should have told you not to...

...but instead I said, "I love you."



*I'm not really sure what this is, I just felt compelled to write it. Don't know if I like it yet or not.
