On gifting teddy, making all wish
Your eyes spoke volumes, or so I would fish.
Was it friendship's gentle start?
Or a flicker in a hopeful heart?
You could've just said No, on that day.
Mid-journey hiccups, at that night
You lent a hand out, admitting all the risks.
Was it help or love that's destined?
Or to quench a thirst that burned somehow
You could've just said No and let me be.
My screen, a hallow that echoes roam
Hundreds of calls, texts when we fought.
Were fights, a promise in the dark?
Or the clash or words that would disappear.
You could've just said No and hung up then.
Under the noonday sun, sitting next to the window
I proposed, nervously pouring out the heart,
Foolish words spell out trembling tongue
An uncertain future, yet unsung the truth
You could've just said No and let me fall.
Efforts to meet you, miles crossed, determined
Leaving comforts just to be by your side.
Did the distance promise closeness? I doubt.
Or was it just a yearning for my hand?
You could've just said No before I crossed the line.
When doubts of another crept in your mind,
A jealous whisper, a poisoned arrow's wing
Was loyalty a game we played?
Or a twisted test my heart couldn't take?
You could've just said No and set me free.
Lyrics, coded messages, a cryptic game
A hidden language, hearts couldn't meet
Was it a love sonnet or a cruel act?
Mixed signals tangled, leaving me dismayed.
You could've just said No and left it all unsaid.
A secret word of amor, you conveyed
Only to turn around and have my hopes
Altar vows for another, you can't claim
Why twist the wound with silence, cold, and starkness?
You could've just said No and let me weep.
Each moment, each instance, each chance,
A love that never had a chance to grow
He let all her hopes crumble to dust
She whispers softly to the past and its shadows.
Why was it so hard to just say No?
PS: Longest one so far!
