Slipping

Everyday

Those 3 words

Try to slip through her fragile lips

To a little boy

Both so naive

Little one wants to know if the other little one has the same issue

Everytime she has that ounce of belief she could say it

She stops herself

Knowing she doesnt uderstand what those 3 petite words mean

So young

But so brave

So small

But her heart is so big

Should she dole out what she can offer

Or delay till the other contributes 1st

One of the most puzzling things in life

But so captivating

The dream of how you could feel so much for someone

But be so timid about ones feelings
