You don’t have to say “I love you”
I’ve heard the words before
In sweet sighs of satisfaction
on wooden kitchen floors
You don’t have to feel you owe me
or see my point of view
In retrospect I’m thinking
I’ve nothing left to lose
You don’t have to suffer with me
I’ll find my way alone
But should you have a change of heart
I’ll be right here at home
In the good times we were winners
in bad times we were friends
Perhaps we could together find
that place our love began
In a list

"in sweet sighs of satisfation
on wooden kitchen floors"--what an expressive and wonderfully suggestive phrase. This tells a story of fading love and the hope of rekindling passion in a marvellous way. Excellent write.

This is nice. It is full of warmth and caring. Great job.

A simple write with layers of subtlety that spoke directly to my heart... your last two lines are the most powerful of the entire poem... and perhaps the most true... sometimes we have to go back, and see what brought two souls together, to see how to stay together in future trials.
Thank you for the share,
best wishes -
"I love yous" are easy to find but hard to keep, and they sometimes just don't seem to want to compromise. If we remember that place where our love began, perhaps it would be easier to find again. Great write, Leo. Hugs, Patricia

Excellent poem my friend, lots of regret here with a touch of desperation. Nice flow to it too. Good stuff Leo!

This has such a tinge of sadness wrapped in deep regret and remorse for things that once were but no longer are. You really pulled out all the stops on this one Leo. I felt this deeply.
