words unspoken

i've started things i cannot finish, for i don't know how to word them
too cheesy takes it to an obsession level
that's not what i'm going for
to harsh sounds like i'm hating,
and anything else sounds quite wrong

i just want to say i miss you
but that even can give the wrong impression
i love you sounds right
but as everyone says;
why? you can't say it in memory
or in passing anymore
it seems to have reached its height
and no more can it be said

in memory, i tell you
and shed a tear for you
because perhaps you may not ever stop really loving,
but you have to learn to live without it.
