"simple Words"

For the time it takes a teardrop to reach the floor...
The words I love you could do so much more...

When hurt and pain can last for an eternity a times...
The simple words I'm sorry can change a set mind...

Wish more people would realize how easy it is to say "I love you" and "I'm sorry," Michael. They may be simple words but it's difficult for some people to say them. Love your couplets, Carolyn
