I Love You

Tears wet my pillow-
one for every "I love you"
I could have said.

"I don't have time for silly words."

"What if he doesn't return my sentiments?"

"I can tell them all tomorrow."

"There is always a time to say it,
and now is not the time."

These were my excuses.
This was my reasoning
for not telling what was in my heart.

More and more,
I can't say these words,
as my friends and family
become farther and farther apart.

You drift into our room,
and hold me in my discomfort,
"I love you." is all you said.

Tomorrow doesn't matter now.
Live in the moment.

I LOVE YOU TOO.

  Sometimes a poet's words have more meaning than they think. And sometimes, they have less. Take that as you will.
