The Words

I can’t decide if saying it

out loud

is going to hurt you more

or hurt me more.

but I have a feeling that

one day soon it’s going

to burst out

of me whether I ask it

to, or not.

all I know is I could

lay with you forever,

breathing you in, our

arms safely and care-

fully intertwined.

and that you’ve changed

me for good, irreversibly

touched my life, my

heart and my soul.
