Not Discussed

You never said 
“let us be together as one”, 
nor did I.

Twas not discussed, 
but we just were,
as your hand filled mine.

Feelings, they did grow, 
with no words to acknowledge,
though surely it was undeniable.

Then the time came
that your heart
just slipped away.

No battles fought, 
no last words, 
no words at all. 

You never out loud said 
“I love you”, 
but only under breath,

until I did hear you proclaim
“I  did once love you”, 
after your love was gone.

And I use to think I was good at communicating. 

I live, I learn, I hope.
