"Analysis"

I think it through

analyse

then analyse the analysis

dissecting remembered conversations

in my mind

fragments of

half-forgotten conversations

searching

for hidden meanings

double meanings

searching for words

that I could

have said

instead

of the ones that I did

or the ones that I did not

regretting the silences

that should have been

filled with words

the words

that should

have been silences

or different words

wishing that I

could write

alternative scripts

with fresh dialogue

wishing that the

real conversations

could have been

drafts
