The Words to Say

What are the words to say?
I love you still. Did you me?
What happened to who you are?
Are you hiding in who you want to be?

I know I made mistakes with you.
But we both know it can't be changed.
We know that nothing is permanent,
But the past can't be rearranged.

Trust can deteriorate in silence.
But memories escape only the blind.
Hearts see the truth and retain it.
Was I simply in your mind?

What are the words to say?
There's something new, changed.
What's different in you as you are?
Something seems off and it's strange.

Relationships fade when there's absence.
Memories fade over years.
But friendships that vanish in instants
Are truly my most scarring fears.
