Whispers at Night

The Things You Never Hear

By Mercedes ChavezPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Normally, the first one to say "Hello"

Last one to say "Goodnight"

Always the one to suggest spending time together

It's always left up to me

But I have a theory

Just a small thought

One I keep to myself because I feel it would upset you

You never ask, so if and when a day comes

You can give the answer...

"I never asked you to."

But you never have to

Nothing I do is out of obligation

I do it because I care

I do it because I want to see you happy

I do it because of the amount joy I feel when I see you smile

I miss you when I can't see you

Because you're one of my favorite people

The sound of your voice and your laughter

Brings so much peace to my heart

But I don't know what I mean to you

I don't know how you feel about me

And I think it's something you'll never tell me

That's why I keep my deepest emotions

As small whispers as you sleep

"I love you."
