Words I Couldn't Say to You

Words are quite a powerful thing, right?
They are just words until we dress them up with emotion, flavor, life, passion, meaning.
We give the words we speak meaning.
These are the words I couldn't say to you.

These are the words I thought about saying to you.

These are the words I wrote and erased, wrote and erased.

These are the words I couldn't turn into lyrics for once, but rather turned them into part pain, part poetry. painful, positive, powerful, poetry.

These are the words I finally told you, and by your response, which was no response, for years on end, is why I wrote this book.
Here are the words I couldn't say to you, then finally told you, now I'm using the love I had for you for all those years and using it to love myself. Thank you.
