I love you
The words I swore I wouldn't say
Tumbled out of my lips and echoed in my ears
They lingered in the air and how I wish I could take them back
But they were spoken, out loud
You heard them too.
With those three words left unspoken
I was denying how I felt
I could pretend this was just a casual fling
No feelings involved, no hearts to be broken
But as soon as they escaped my lips
I could no longer deny,
Could no longer try to convince myself,
Could not pretend you didn't mean the world to me.
I had tried so hard not to love you
Tried not to complicate things with emotional attachments
This wasn't suppose to happen
But it has.
My heart stilled, my ears strained
What would you say
How would you react, this was to be casual
It was not to go this way
You smiled
I heard those same three words again
But this time *the tumbling words fall off your lips*

This is a good poem. I don't really know what else to say since it's 2:30 a.m. and I'm about to pass out and fall out of my chair. Congrats and keep writing. -
Thanks Lostsoul!! Lol,Please don't take this the wrong way.... As much as I love your comments, I probably won't be replying to them soon for each time I do, it takes me away from your page and I wanna read as many of your works as I can, they're great!!!
Aww well it's 4:30 am here and I should be getting to bed, so I'll add you to my favorites and read the rest tomorrow.
