the silence of words

You come to me and talk about her

I listen, intently and carefully

You tell me how she broke your heart

I listen, and I hear my heart breaking.

You come to me and talk about her

How much you tried

And how things messed up

And how you messed up.

You come to me and ask about him

You listen to my untold story

And I tell you how he broke my heart

And you kept quiet.

You come to me and ask about him

I tell you almost everything

And how things messed up

And how I messed up.

I come to you hoping to tell you

I’m starting to forget

Because you’ve made me too happy

Because you’ve made me forget.

But that, I can never do.

Unless you learn to forget about her too.

against all odds
