Too late

I haven’t told her everything,

whilst I told her many things.

Like how I’ve always loved her,

But didn't tell her anything

For I fear.

I fear rejection,

dejection,

I fear for a blank expression.

I don’t want to lose her.

As a friend,

that's good enough.

“Just tell her”

Will she accept,

or will she stray away

and treat it like a betrayal.

But after the incident,

she already has.

With no intentions to return.

But maybe that’s good.

Maybe I can forget

Maybe I can heal

Maybe my heart can be whole

without hammering around her. 

Maybe I can be my old self again.

Now she’s talking to someone

Laughing, joking, studying together. 

Like it's fate.

So I wish him the best of luck

and urge him not to make the same mistakes as me.

I wish to tell him not to waste this moment.

This joyous moment for him.

Seize the chance,

Don't wait.

Do what I failed to do.

Make her happy.
