3 words, 8 letters

that's what I said

After many years

-of questioning

 

You stood there

frozen in fear or pride

I don't know

for you never replied

 

Oh those words,

I seldomly say

were anxiously proclaimed

to one whom couldn't say the same

 

We were face to face 

but then I walked away

And you stayed in place

so then I learned

 

When my mom told me

that my heart was my weakness

She was wrong

I don't have to guard my heart

 

My heart is stronger

than any precious stone

My most vulnerable moment

gave me grit to overcome

Anywhere with anyone

and most of all

to dare to say those
