why didn't you just...

lilian z.

[start]

it was summer when i confessed

and you simply said yes

through good times and bad

we were always together.

until one day

you left

me.

why didn't you just…

say something?

[fast-forward]

it had been years

since i had last set eyes on you

you try to apologize

but it's too late

too late

too

late.

left me eighteen

regain me twenty-four

i'm engaged now

didn't you see

i sent you an invitation

to my wedding.

why didn't you just…

say something?

[rewind]

i saw you the week before

talked amiably

always knew something

was missing.

it's an odd feeling

falling in love again

when all you had done

was abandon me

before.

something ignited

mistakes had been made

and yet i was determined

to bury this part of my life

help me.

why don't you just…

say something?

[play]

i was led down the aisle

doing my best to

play the part of

the happiest bride

on earth.

but i knew that

my love for him would

never surpass my love

for you.

but even then

i couldn't.

in the end

there was nothing

i could say

except

'i do.'

so why

didn't you just...

say something?
