A Word Into Novel

We're on the same page,
edge to edge
Thinking of the same thing
But not uttering it
Doubt
Fear
Uncertainty
They were written between us.
Love
Hope
They were both in us.
Were.
Until one decided to speak
Goodbye
Farewell
Take care.
And that's how our story ended.

A book now for a word
stuck between our lips  a long time ago.

A novel of
pain,
regret,
self hate,
hankerchief, 
tissues,
beers,
and lifetime desolation

for an "I Love You"
we feared to admit.
