Say What You Need to Say

I drove away from you on that Summer day, not too long ago.
You stood in the driveway with tears in your eyes--they told me you were hurting.
I watched you as I drove away, feeling numb as though I would see you again.
Your eyes lied to me, and so did mine.

I long now to be in that place again and stay.
I think of what could have happened if I begged you not to do it.
I write you a letter.
John said its better to say too much than to never say what you need to say.
I sent it to your parents house, and then the next day call your mother to ask her to throw it away.
I need to leave you and your lying eyes alone.
