Unheard Moments
People say hate is a strong word
Well so is ( fill in blank)
( fill in blank), a word I don't understand
It feels so heavy on my tongue
When I look at my parents, the word won't budge from my
mouth
Maybe we weren't built on ( fill in blank )
It's not like we tell each other..
I ( fill in blank) you
However yesterday, I overheard my teammate on the phone
She spoke those three words so eloquently
I felt joyful and sad
Knowing that I heard it
It almost sounded like the message was for me
