The words written on your lips
Were nothing but a murmur
When I read what they said
My heart stuttered
A response got caught inside my chest
I looked back at you, out of breath
When I saw your smile
Time slowed down
I could hear nothing
But the echo of my voice
Did you mean it?
Was all I could ask
You answered with a simple
Yes
Then my head went faint
And my heart sputtered back to life
I love you too
I replied
i love you
Those Three Words
StandardThose three words
they run in circles around my head
pulsing against the walls
giving me a migraine.
Those three words
pumping in my heart
jumping at the sound of your voice
and lightly humming when you’re gone.
Those three words
haunt my every move
whenever I am around you
I fear letting them loose.
Would it be so bad if I do?
Those three words
if said aloud
would they be the end of this
(whatever this is)
or the beginning of something new?
Those three words
out in the open
would you say them back to me,
or would my heart be left broken?
