"WHY I NEVER SAY 'I LOVE YOU' "

Those sweet words

are sacred

easier said

than done

even when you’ve promised

that you’ll always be around

Those sweet words

no matter how good

require responsibilities

I hate it when people use them to tease

Even when no one’s perfect

at least try to make up

for what you lack

I may no longer be

the romantic type they still expect of me

I may never have the guts

to say those three sacred words

for my personal lacks I still see

despite my efforts to make you feel happy

I can always love you

when I choose to

but whether you leave or stay

that’s not up to me...

...and I’m not some possessive freak

I refuse to choke you until you’re sick...

...but I love you anyway

even when it remains unsaid...
