Three Words
A phrase said many times before
Feels intimidating with you.
It could be because it is true
Or because I value you
Too much to take a risk.
I helplessly want to utter
Three short words.
My lips
My tongue
Refuse.
Let it out.
Let her hear.
I can not.
I push and as
The words nearly form
I halt.
This is a never-ending battle.
I think of what would happen.
She could ask me
To repeat.
Say she understands.
"I know."
Finally,
No more avoidance.
"I am sorry."
"Me too."
