Shush

yes, I kept quiet.

speak now or forever hold your peace

I did the latter…

already knew who’d treat you better.

you deserve better than regret

than a second thought yelled from the back

and for once in my life

I must do the right thing

let you have that ring.

I wasn’t good for you before

and for that i’ll make myself pay

always had the last word

time to let you have a say.

yes, I kept quiet.

this time, I did.
