The Confession

Sitting here with my loyal dog, Blue
From him I think I have a clue

It’s finally time to take ink and write
And tell you of my year long plight

I scratch my head and purse my lips
Throw out all my written scripts

“Dear sweetheart” seems just too much
For we have not become as such

But that is what my heart desires
As my words stumble over loves’ fires

Maybe I should just say hello
Then confess “I Love You” down below?
