I told him.

The earth didn't crack.
The seas didn't crash.
The sky didn't cave.

I told him this: I love you.

My heart didn't break.
My eyes didn't burn.
My heart didn't break.

I am wondering how that could be.
How could that possibly be?

People get themselves so fixated
On what they hear, on what they read.
They forget, you forget, that none of it matters.

I told him, and nothing shattered.

Be bold, be brave, be beautifully honest.
Tell him, tell her, tell them all.
Tell them those words.
