The One that Got Away

The One that Got Away


A burst of tears
To my surprise
Begin to fall
From
Those eyes
No word were
Said
The Silent
Good bye
It was the
Beginning
And the ending
A unspoken
Love Affair
Between you
And I
No words exchanged
Caution was needed
No heart to be broken
Yes, we both have
Succeeded
Not knowing our
Secrets would have
This effect
We talked
We messages
Never being direct
That day came
When I moved away
No more coffees
Or dinners
Then comes graduation day
And That when it hit me
Like a ton of bricks
The phone call in May
You were the one
That got away
The Quiet
Love story
Became clear
To see
The story
Untold
Was of
You and me
The One
That Got
Away
