The “L” Word

He looks at me and smiles.

I know I should say it

He holds my hand, and my heart skips a beat.

I know I should say it

He speaks and I hear angels sing.

I know I should say it

He wants me to be around him.

I know I should say it

He tells me he loves me.

I only want him to smile for me.

I only want him to hold my hand.

I only want him to say my name as angels sing.

I only want him to be around me.

I know I should say it

I do.

"I'm leaving you."

Because I love him.
