I love you. 3 words, the 3 words you said to me after 3 years of being together. I love you too. The 4 words you say in response to the 3 words. 4 words I didn't say. 4 words unspoken breaking the 3 years we built. 4 words floating in my subconscious that won't be said. You left. You left me after the silence of my unspoken words. I couldn't say it back, I tried. The week when I asked you on our unknowingly last date. I planned on saying it but I didn't. I thought I broke your heart and I didn't know how to fix it.
3 years, 4 months, 15 days, 2 minutes, and 5 seconds. Out of all that time 2 minutes, and 5 seconds were used for the last of our relationship. The unsettling silence of the unspoken I love you too. 2 minutes of silence wiping away 3 years, 4 months, and 15 days. I watched you leave and I didn't say anything to stop you. I knew those words wouldn't be the ones you wanted to hear.
