I say

Listen to poem:
When I say I love you, it’s because you carved out a place in me, one I never knew was there. When I say I love you, it’s because you traced every scar back to its origin and never once flinched. You turned my heart inside out, sifted through the mess, and still found something worth holding. I say I love you because your pain hums at the same frequency as mine— and when our eyes meet, I don’t feel alone anymore. And when you say it, I feel your soul lying next to mine, like parallel lines that dared to bend.

If I swoon with you, will it set me free? If I say I've missed you will you also remember too miss me? Hugs A.S.
