Regret

Did I ever say, I love you,

When the days were long,

And our patience short?

Did I ever say, I love you,

When you worked so hard,

And loneliness was all I saw?

Did I ever say, I love you,

For good times, memories of the past,

Blocked by the tears of the present?

The times I wanted to be close,

And wanted just to hear; 

But you never said, "I love  you".
