Could You Tell?

October 26, 1999

Could you tell I smiled yesterday?
It was when you walked by...
Could you tell I was scared yesterday?
It was there in my eyes...
Could you tell I was curious yesterday?
It was when I asked "what's wrong?"...
Could you tell I was happy yesterday?
I was singin' my silly song...
Could you tell I was vulnerable yesterday?
It was when I looked into your eyes...
Could you tell I was thoughtful yesterday?
It was when I asked all the why's...
Could you tell I frowned yesterday?
It was when you walked away...
Could you tell I was alive yesterday?
It was before my inner pain went away...
Could you tell I loved you yesterday?
It was something I never got to say...

So could you tell the others for me?
That I'll miss them forever...
Could you tell them for me?
Not to lose spirits, never...
Could you tell all the kids for me?
That I watch them everyday...
Could you tell them for me?
That my love will never go away...
Could you tell my family for me?
That things here are fine...
Could you tell them for me?
I'll see them in another time...
Could you tell my friends for me?
That they weren't too late...
Could you tell them for me?
I couldn't deal with the hate...

And could you tell yourself for me?
That I love you so much...
And could you tell yourself for me?
I longed for your touch...
But could you tell yourself for me?
That I don't find you to blame...
And could you tell yourself for me?
You've got nothing to shame...
And could you tell yourself for me?
You're not the reason why...
And could you tell yourself for me?
At sometime everything must die...

Back to my homepage: yeah...
Lost: back to the previous poem.
Imitation??: this isn't really the title, but that's just what we'll call it for links-sake.
