I was listening to the radio
When my work was done.
Your voice sounded cheerful,
very bouncy and fun.
I got off my car thinking about
How you'd like the present.
The pair of earrings I've bought for you,
Their pretty shape showed a crescent.
I walked up the stairs,
And I thought of your smile.
How it had comforted me,
Even though for a short while.
I startled noiselessly,
I dropped my jaws slightly,
I breathed silently,
I shifted my foot slowly.
I hid behind the wall,
And I held onto something,
So that I wouldn't fall.
There outside the studio door,
Was your standing shadow.
Beside you was another person,
Someone that I wouldn't like to know.
I peeked and I saw
Something I'd hate the most.
Your smile and your heart,
It was something that I had lost.
I clutched my fists
And reached into my pocket,
And took out the small gift that was
Supposed to make you delighted.
Absurd.
Without a word.
Angry.
Feeling jealously.
Love.
Rivaling hate.
Trials of conveying,
Your ignorance, my feelings.
You may not accept them now,
But you could obviously still see me there.
It didn't have to be this moment,
But don't you dare to pretend that you're not aware.
Because,
Without a word,
You will let go of his hand.
Without a word,
You will come to where I stand.
Without a word,
You will find my importance.
Without a word,
You will lose your resistance.
Without a word,
You will come back to me.
Without a word!
I dare you to see.
