Let’s say the words now

We’ve shown it all off
We’ve took it all off

We’ve done it all
We’ve seen it all

We’ve broken it down
We’ve built it up again

We’ve experienced the pleasure
We’ve experienced the pain

We’re still here
We’re so bare

In the count of three
Let’s say the words
To each other
Together

Let’s say, “I love you”

you are wrigley's spearmint
and a little bit of sweat
you are white and grey
black and blue
you are a big slice of pizza
(the butter is mine)
you are envelopes
and hershey's
long fingers
small nose
birthmarks
and flaws
you are violence and forgiveness
pain and discomfort
warmth and silence
hurt
you are hurt

you are a memory
a moment
an association unlimited by time
perhaps this world will always be littered
with reminders of when you were mine
