I've said the words before.
I've said them so casually,
I don't think I ever
Put that much weight in them.
The next time I say them,
All of my soul will be there.
They will mean something
More than they did.
I think I said them
Before I really knew what they meant.
I didn't even realize
How true those words were.
I'll say them again
When we're finally together.
Will you say them back?
When I say them,
It won't be in a message.
It won't be over a call.
I'm going to say those words
Face to face with you.
So that I can't run
Or hide
Behind a screen.
Truthfully
I'll be embarrassed.
Because it will be the first time
I've said those words
In that way
And truly meant it.
Only you.
Those words
Are just for you.
