I couldn’t say it - just couldn’t let you hear it you needed it I had something you needed the silence coming from my side was a knife slashing right through our handmade quilts and crocheted blankets and every night you took it, waiting, year after year, with silence I couldn’t say it when you needed it we were in it together sometimes on cold wooden floors after tip-toe-ing in, unnoticed together, we did it and I couldn’t let myself open up now, its too late we’re grown now and I cant mend anything back together it’s too late I was silent too long
