Between No and Never

Was it always this?   
Did we always wait?


Hints 
Quirks
Laughs


And nothing


Smirk
Jibe
Grimace


And we're done
Take a bow.


Sometimes you'd see
And I would smile
How would I know
You'd look the other way after


Memories strangulate
Words sear
Unsaid ones


The sent ones are done 
Bled out in ink


You forget
I said no
I'll always remember
You said never
