What does a lonely rock think as it sits all alone? What does the last dandelion do as it waits to be devoured? What happened in the house on the hill?

Three Words

6 1 4

by nomixela

There are three words that I will never say

Three words that everyone knows

They all speak

Without truth

Without a care

They throw these words

To the wind

They do not understand

Can never understand

There are three words that echo in my mind

Three words that are all I can think of

I hear them

When I sleep

When I wake in the morning

As I am driving by the place

Where it happened

They say

I will get over it

They are wrong

There are three words that I will take to my grave

Three words that I must tell you

When I see you

When we are together

Again

But I will wait

I will take my time

I will keep you in my heart

And mind

Until I can finally tell you

There are three words that I will someday say

Three words that I am biding my time with

I will tell you

When the time is right

When we are united

Finally

Until then

I will keep these words

Protect them

And recite them in my mind

A mantra to keep me together;

I love you...
