A POEM BY ABHISHEK SUBEDI

Letter That Was Never Sent!

I was always waiting For the right moment to speak For silence to feel safe For my heart to be heard But I stayed quiet. I believed in timing That someday you would notice That love grows from patience That holding back was brave I was wrong to believe that. You were meant to know How much I noticed the little things The way you laughed at your own jokes The way your eyes searched the sky when you spoke The way your presence softened the room And still, I wrote nothing. I folded my feelings into paper, Let them remain locked in invisible envelopes, Because I thought you’d never feel the same, Because I feared being too much, too soon. Maybe I should have risked it. Maybe I should have said something. Maybe we could have become something. But just MAYBE. So, I never told you. You never stayed. We never started. And that’s how We ended.
