t h a n k you

i’ve always wanted to tell you

“thank you”.

for you were by my side,

giving me all my space,

but offering a hand when i needed it.

i never said it,

because i thought

you‘d think i‘m good,

that you’d pull away.

i thought “thank you” might be

like “goodbye”.

so i said nothing.

and you came closer,

when i needed it most.

you’ve been saying all the right things.

now i feel the “thank you”

even more.

the words are on my lips

but

i don’t allow them to reach you,

for i think that

you‘d think i‘m fine,

and now it’s so nice

in the embrace of our never ending

conversation,

i don‘t want it to

stop.

so maybe,

maybe,

i‘ll wait till goodbye with my

“thank you”.
