the three words i meant

and all i felt just seems like nothing now.

well not nothing, just

wasted emotions. and bottled up words

i've said and meant to no one

before you came.

it's taking all the willpower within my weak soul

to not come sprinting to your house as i often did

and tell you that "you

got me, babe. yours i am."

but i won't. i'll resist the urge if it's the last thing i do.

because i want to see you happy. because i meant the three words.

and your smile will forever sway my heart even if it's not

me that's making you smile.

even if you're safe in someone else's arms.

because i meant the three words i said

especially to you. for it's the first time i've ever meant it

and i was not afraid to show it.

the only thing i regret perhaps is

not

telling you sooner.

but it's okay. because you know.

and so do i.

your happiness trumps my sadness, and

your smile trumps my

tears.

and although they'll soon be gone, i hope

your smile never leaves.
