There are 100 ways to say “I love you,”
I said each one of them to you
Except for those three words
Never knowing if they would heal
Or if they would ultimately harm.
Funny how we say anything
But what we truly want to say,
Because there are certain words
That are etched in stone when spoken
With the power to encourage a heart
To either illuminate and glow
Or close off forever.
