I never saw in yesterday
those many things I need today
of dreams now past with hopes to say
I wish in silence while memories play.

I never mentioned my deepest thoughts
whose words would dance for approval sought
of balancing life expected fair
I wish those words had felt real air.

I never expressed my hearts desires
while passion heated with loves fires
of shouting out my inner wishes
while watching you do dinner dishes.

I never wrote my feelings down
to try to erase that troubled frown
I only hope you understand
these words today from silent man.
