What You Did Not Say Poem by RIC BASTASA

what you did not say
was the most important part of the meeting
it was something
that i really understood
it was painful
but i respected it
because it is
the truth

what you did not say
was this love between us
that we keep
and take with us
to a certain distance

it may be right
but it has grown in the wrong place
it may make us feel good
but it says that it may be bad for everyone

who are not ready
for what it really feels

this shame of our time
as i see it will be the glory of the coming time

it is coming my love
all we have to do is just wait for the changing of the seasons
and the guards in the parapets
