Damning Words

by madison-freestone

Ever since I first nervously stuttered out "I think I love you" to you in my car almost a year ago it's been easier for me. I never said that to anyone, the man before you never heard it. I wouldn't even say it to my own family. But I felt safe saying it to you I love you I love you I love you too It just rolled of my tongue. You're such a dork- I love you I told you all the time so you'd never forget- You can be pretty forgetful. I told you I did when I was sad and you just held me and let me cry. I told you when I saw it in your eyes, I said it when you made me laugh and smile, When you were hurting and just needed to feel love for awhile. I'd whisper it to you like a secret, Or yell it so all the world could hear it. I reminded you every night before you fell asleep, Or whenever I had to leave. I said it seriously, a promise. You'll always have a place in my heart, never forget this. I smiled whenever you said it. But then you said you just didn't. And now I'm afraid that I'll say it again, let it slip. Every time I say "Goodbye," I start to finish it with "love you.", but that's not my place. You don't want to hear that, I'll try harder next time to not let those damning words escape.
