But Three Words

Actions > words

I whisper 

But three words 

To an empty space 

Beside my head 

Absent presence 

Full of heart 

Pure as gold 

I wonder 

But three words 

Come to my mind 

About my soul 

Deeply seeking 

The matching piece 

To complete me 

I falter 

But three words 

Shown but left unspoken 

For timid fears 

Collateral damages 

From these feelings 

Upon every breath 

I hold 

But three words 

For a needed time 

When actually wanted 

From partner 

Meant for me 

Held in regard 

I feel 

But three words 

Behind my every thought 

For kindred soul 

Fiercely strong 

Shadowed in doubts 

Yet still fighting 

I hold 

But three words 

For one so deserving 

Mutually respecting me 

Deeply devoted 

Not caged away 

Free hurtful stings 

I rejoice 

But three words 

Carried in delicate hands 

Tips of tongues 

Shown appreciation 

Without burning bridges 

Yet walked upon

Pretty good! I like that you never speak the actual three words. It gives me more of a feeling and less of a focus on simple symbols and characters. Thanks man this was good!
