It's Difficult To Say
He has a written script that comes from the heart.
The passage is journeying towards the brain.
The brain senses that the message is dangerous and sets up a roadblock.
The words his heart is yearning to say are being sterilized by his system.
The brain thinks; the heart is being foolish in revealing such deep inner thoughts at
this time.
The brain knows that spouting personal pronouncements will only lead to trouble.
The mouth has been ordered to stay silent so as not to say something stupid.
His silence torments the heart and leads only to more sorrow.
The heart asks the brain to reconsider his order about unleashing the articulate
thoughts.
He explains that by holding in the words, he will always be in distress.
When he is alone, the brain allows the hearts’ feelings to pour out of his mouth.
He then says, “It’s difficult to say, I love you.”
