Did I say those words to you?
Words I found so hard to say
Although it glowed within my heart
My devoted worship of you
The kisses I swaddled on you
day and night
and night and day
were meant to take their place

Yet those words I found so hard to say
Words each day you often prayed
that I would have the courage to say
those words I wished I shouted at you
each and
every day

Did I ever say those words to you?

Did you know, I tried?
