There are times when
I choke back
the words, ‘I love you’.
Not because I don’t mean them,
or I’m afraid.
It’s because they are
only words
and no matter how expertly spun,
they will never be able to even come close
to the sensation of having a full heart,
the full heart that beats in double time
when it expects you
to walk through the door.
The frustrating thing is
that I know your heart
is just as full
and we can feel our love radiate from each other
in everything we do,
yet
I still want to find this way
of forcing three simple words
into the shape of us
at every chance I get.
