Why Didn't You Tell Me Then?
It's been how many years since we've seen each other?
I hate to even count.
There was something special between each other,
But I never knew the amount.
A lot of water has flowed under the bridge
And it's come and gone in a rush---
And now you tell me in those innocent days
You had this terrible crush.

Why didn't you tell me then?
I thought your feelings for me were platonic,
Why didn't you call it by name?

Why didn't you tell me then?
I can reveal now what makes it ironic
Is why
Didn't I
Tell you the same?

All the dreams
I had about you
Whether asleep or awake---
All the times
I brushed my hand
Against your hand
And pretended it was a mistake.

Why didn't we say it then?
Why didn't we say what we felt for each other?
Why didn't we choose to explain?

Why didn't we say it then?
Why didn't we say how we melt for each other?
We could have saved each other
So very much pain.
