Three Words
There are these three words
I know as a gift and a curse
softly i whisper them beneath my breath
unable to tame them inside my head
and i look to you with doleful eyes
pained to witness though I try
to see goodbye as just a later
quick to grieve and slow to anger
and with just three words I am conflict
lost, stricken, humbled, panicked
fumbling over how i should feel
when i look to you and my heart yields
quietly i turn away to bury my head
to let the tears roll on the pillow instead
I cannot speak them though i wish
instead I softly confess them in a kiss
It's just three words but i never knew
the mark they'd have on me to you
for once i looked and learned your face
emerged those feelings I could not erase
and I wonder what it would be
to proclaim it finally so burden free
would it be so wrong to know it's true
that with every day i grew to love you?
