More Romantically Depressing Poems;;

Though, this was sort of a sequence thing I was working on.
It's not too bad.
---
And you said one thing
before you walked out the door
that will haunt me
for the rest of my life.

I think you knew that it would,
too,
which makes it even worse.
But you turned,
door handle in your grasp,
and said aloud those few words.

"And to think that I loved you."

And left me before I could
say another word.
---
I lie here,
staring at the ceiling,
thinking of all the times
I opted not to say anything.
And say nothing at all.

Because I was afraid.
Afraid of rejection.
Afraid of losing you.
And, lastly,

Afraid of being alone.
---
So why am I here?
Rejected,
without you,
and alone?

Because my fear
kept me from telling you
the only thing I had.
The truth.

Kept me from telling you
that I did love you.
But never had the courage
to find the words to say it.

And now both of us
are regretting everything.
---
But someone came in.
And saved me
before I even had the chance
to start my pity parade.

Someone I wish I could’ve
been closer with.
Because now I feel almost guilty
that they came and saved me,
when I never saved them.

They offered me a hand.
An escape for a moment.
We enjoyed talking for a time,
before I had to go.

Reality was calling.

“You can’t stay happy forever,”
it reminded me.
