The Things I Would Say Poem by Dyhanara Rios

Oh, the things I would say
If I were with you today.
My words would be nice,
And not a single one unkind.

Although I would like to destroy your heart,
Fate’s not written that way; it’s not my part.

Oh, the things I would say
If you were to die today.
Within a second, I’d be at your side,
And my forgiveness you would find.

Although I wouldn’t care this time,
I’d be curious of what’s in your mind.

Oh, the things I would say
If I saw you today.
I would make the smart call,
And probably say nothing at all.

Although I have so much to tell you,
I’ve realized that I’m done with you.

Oh, the things I would say
If you talked to me today.
I’d tell you how well life was,
And how happy I am because,

Although I decided not to stay,
I wouldn’t have it any other way.
