If Only

Writing Compilation

Stolen glances; unspoken goodbyes.

If only I had said something the other times.

Unspoken glances,
from the corner of my eyes
really
pains me
on the inside.

Is this
Wishful thinking;
Or 
  (Regrets?)

Stolen goodbyes,
from my lips
As my breath stills,
and my heart aches
at reality:
Not incapability; 
it was
hesitance
that was the root.

Your little smiles,
(Unfortunately)
not directed at me 
makes me
Wish
something existed
between us

A laugh.

How could it?
when we never
bothered with
(even)
greetings?

Something;
A mere shadow 
of what 
Could've
but never 
stood a chance to
     Be.
(anything)

If only.

I sigh.

Oh, such foolishness:
my heart aches so,
At a love that never was.
(will never be,)

I convince myself:
Perhaps this is better;
After all,
you cannot experience loss
if you never had it at all.
(right?)

 

(Regrets? Unfortunately even anything will never be, right?)

A/N: Hello! I'm terribly sorry for being dead here for so long... >_<" Here's something I managed to write when inspiration struck after a long break from writing, I hope it's alright.

Chapter 28: Oooo I like this one. The last line gives me goosebumps. I like how you built up the tension to that point.

Chapter 27: “You weren't by my side anymore, and would never be.” I felt that… this was a very well written emotional piece

Chapter 25: Wow I’m not sure what to make of this because the writing is abstract in nature, but the sadness is very palpable

Chapter 24: This reminds me of a quote where it’s like “a monster is not a monster if you love it” (I’m getting it wrong lol but it was something along those lines)
